November 12, 20232 yr So this is a 35% scale replica flying 'Experimental Class' not an RC aircraft!!! He is kind of crazy to climb up into that thing but it does look cool, and sounds cool too considering it is powered by 4 Honda Fit Engines, at least those engines are reliable Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me

I think it is an Experimental with a pilot in there, right? Quite a deal. Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB
November 13, 20232 yr I was wondering why they didn't show any video of the landing. This is why. https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/347642 Edited November 13, 20232 yr by mwilk
November 13, 20232 yr Very interesting, sad about the crash ... never really understood why so many airports are next to golf courses. Glad no fatalities.

This is why. https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/347642 Thanks for this....good to hear this wasn't a worse ending...I immediately thought what in heck am I seeing, an RC plane? How does one build such a thing and get some sort of license to fly it and then there was the nearby golf course...and then bingo you posted this write up. This should have been done miles from anywhere as its experimental. Anyway, glad to hear no fatalities. Bryan Wallis aka "fltsimguy" Maple Bay, British Columbia Near CAM3
November 14, 20232 yr Moderator The woman was standing in the golf cart taking pictures of the aircraft. No mention was made about a golf course. Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator

I see, I saw the driving golf cart, was focused on the plane, and the nice manicured lawn made it look like there was a golf course near by...me bad..😄 Bryan Wallis aka "fltsimguy" Maple Bay, British Columbia Near CAM3
