Fook, you would not want one of them to fly into you!

Do you have to have a licence? I know you can only fly them in certain places in the UK.

They used to have these demonstrations of airplanes in my country, but now its hard to get the special gas there (since there is no ocean entry). Price for RC gas was way up and they now decided not to buy anymore. Too bad =/.

here in the states (at least local hobbie shops) its about 12$ per gallon of nitro methane.. and thats whats required for those tiny engines to run. my older brother used to have a few (now all sold) no licence needed here... but every time people gather to fly them, you usually see one or 2 crash. some of those times, the people who crash them just sell them fairly cheap (minus the motor).. then you just re-build it
