I was going to purchase one, the kits themselves are not too bad price wise but purchasing the motors, servos and radio controls is a small fortune and one I couldn't afford and my luck I'd crash it on the first flight...lol

I don't even know anyone around here that has any but I'm sure there are some that have them, likely more so in Dryden..

That's really awesome John, my two sons have all the wood working skills in this family. Heck, I have a hard time to even cut a 2x4 to proper length!

You hit the nail on the head John....I can dig basements and build roads pretty well tho.

Could you make me a L8000 like my gravel truck.....Bobcat and trailer is optional tho.

These guys have a 1/28 scale series of Bombers, the Lancaster B-24D Liberator has a 48.5 inch wing span so it would be about 45 inches long.
