a full scale (real) heli in a hover is easier to control due to the mass of the aircraft. wind and turbulance have much less effect on it and the craft as a whole reacts "slower".
when you get down to the.60 size choppers slight winds and such that wouldnt be even felt with a full scale start to buffet the chopper requiring more input . it also reacts quicker then the fullscale due to less mass being thrown around.
when you get to something like the pixel sized... a small fan can be catostrophic.
same with airplanes. a 1/2A scale plane (.049 sized engine) is a whole lot harder to fly then a 40% giant.... but a lot cheaper.
get control of the "shutdown" station. then at a predetermined spot. shut a truck down. take out the driver. back up a non "shutdown" tractor to it.. and away you go.
makes setting up an ambush for those pesky trucks doing 70MPH alot easier for those that want it.
I like the smiley face jolly roger from defcon better. but then again this is from someone that wanted to take that logo and sail around on a 14' sailboat in the local resevoir and raid partyboats looking for "loot" (sandwiches, beer, etc.....hey... when your the pirates of a lake you gotta take what you can get).

HavenCo In Trouble?

· Score: 5, Informative
this is total BS according to Lackey.
havenco did not have a "sealed oxegen free room" it had 5 lan racks with about 15 servers on there.... thats it.
apparently they spent more money on getting a flakey wireless link up then they did on servers.
also in the talks he said that sealand has like 2 people residing there now.... and he said that a armed takeover would take about 10 minutes..... so anyone have a chopper I can borrow?
No I'm Sure that he was tramatized by the fact that his GI Joe was going to ride in a pink car. real american hero crusin in a pink t-bird? I would be upset too.
hehe somethin' extra... fun plane. should never have got rid of mine.
I think this is the best defence we have against terrorists using RC planes against us.... they will get so hooked on flying them that they wont have time to attack us.

"old one wouldnt torque roll... watch" (shot of plane doing a torque roll tail touch with smoke on)

even with the radio gear that price is way over what I would pay for an electric RC just to get myself thrown in jail.
for that money I can probably set up a larger glow fuel powered version out of foam or balsa.
hell for a few bucks more I might be able to get the stuff to construct a fiberglass version (would have to learn how to glass first)
Dragan's stuff is neat but overpriced.
ok.. you wear an iron helmet with no padding... i will throw a rock at your head.
then when you wake up you can tell me how effective the armour is against rocks.
We could all sit and watch as small aircraft get toasted from flying through the beam. Its the ultimate bug zapper.
better yet.

" Do you know how many spars and struts are in a 1:24th scale model of an F-14?"
how about a 146" wingspan b-24.
a friend of mine cuts these by hand the aeroplane works
he describes it as a flying lumberyard

There already has talk about this on http://www.rcuniverse.com about the effects of the homeland security and the genral paranoia of the public.
the main concern is someone attaching some kind of payload to a RC plane and flying it over a large gathering of people.
if they start cracking down on RC then I'm moving.
