[WWI] 1/72 scale FLYING R/C Fokker E-III

[Michael Robinson]

Oy vay, and just last night I was feeling smug after I got the fuselage
painted on the Pfalz E-I and actually accomplished something, and you have
to show me this. I am so unworthy.

And on a side note, on ARC there is a link of an o/t 1/9th scale Boeing C-17
that flies. 20some foot wingspan, 256 pounds, 4 mini-turbines.... From one
extreme to the other.

Cheers
Mike
