I modeled the plane and made my own corrugating roller for 0.004 aluminum and flew with 3 Technopower 9 cyl engines at Las Vegas. I knew the pilot who died at 102 in 1991 I live in NE Wyoming. I am 92 and time is running out but I still fly.

The fact that he has a gracious benefactor in Tyler Perry is great for Ramy and the continued development of model airplane systems. We should all be happy some one is able to do this. It that nothing away from me flying a 060 Class foamy. Great work Ramy!

Bigger and more and more expensive . They are also Chinese imports, not scratchbuilt. At least I have not experienced discrimination from the big mòdel pilots.

Perfect craftsmanship you all should be very proud. The only thing that I thought took away from it was you should have used gas turbine engines I think that would have made it perfect but that is my opinion and you know what they say about opinions. Again thank you for this beautiful piece of art.

Ramy and is team are truly fantastic engineers and great at troubleshooting on the fly! Tyler is an awesome pilot and I enjoy seeing what comes next. How about some warbirds?

If you make it big enough you might offer to fly it for the National Gard!!. I did this for the Minnesota Gard at the RC field field on Grand Fork AFB I believe it was the summer of 1996
Every one had a great time trying to hit my Mig 21 Floger, thy were using a 20mm with laser shots. I burn a lot of nitro.
