So not to many people, other than those that have known me for years, know that I was once completely taken with Model Aviation. I own a couple of planes still, but haven't kept up on it for a number of years. My first plane is a glider. I have a giant rubber band made from sergical tubing that launches it between 300-400 feet in the air. My other plain is a Piper Cub (with optional sea-plane floats) which has only been in the air once. I had another plane...a trainer (big wings, easy to fly)...I found out the hard way that it didn't like loop-'d-loops when, durring the climb, the winds fell off and it fell over 300 feet into hard soil...only the wing survived (ironic?). Anyways, I also enjoyed designing 'em. My designs included a few Star Wars ships (xwing, awing) and a flying saucer...I unforturnately, never had the resources to build one. I have found, however, that someone else has: http://www.futurehorizons.net/saucer.htm... I'm envious...anyone have about $750 I can borrow?
