Boys' toys never change, they just get more expensive, so many would say. Whether you are a young boy or a man, flying scale aviation is great fun. It gets one out into the open air where you can enjoy the thrill of watching models flying in the sky.

This is a very expensive hobby but many will pay for the opportunity of join in the fun. Building one of these up from nothing is totally awesome and even better when you can show it off to all that are at your club. There are so many different kinds that one can build you will never get bored.

The model is a very detailed scale of the original and is made from ultra durable EPO foam. It is painted a vibrant color and is very beautiful. The split flaps and electronic retracts make is a very functional model to fly with. To add those finishing touches simulated cockpit gauges, treaded rubber tires, air intake and exhaust pipes make it seem even more authentic. The wingspan is 1300mm with a length of 956mm. The total height of this model is 380mm and the flying weight is 1350g. The battery is not included and the one that will be needed is a 2400 mAh - 2700 mAh as well as a 6CH transmitter and receiver.

Mankind has wanted to fly from the very beginning. Men have been known to strap birdlike wings and any other device in an attempt to fly. Some have even jumped off high towers; many resulting in serious injuries as well as death. The earliest jump from a tower was in 852 AD when a man from Spain covered his body in feathers and attached wings made from wooden struts to his arms. His attempt was unsuccessful but he only received a few minor injuries as his fall was slowed.

In war time this life sized aircraft was capable of tracking, attacking targets and finding anything on the ground by itself or with the assistance of ground support. The more modern ones now have more defensive measures which include a missile approach warning system, radar warning receiver and chaff and flare dispensers. This make the thrill all the more realistic.

The handling of this plane is very responsive whether you are keeping the speed down or at it's fastest. An optional set of scale floats are sold separately. The engine is in the front of the model which enables it to take off on fields that are shorter than normal. This can be flown every day for more enjoyment.

The length is 1.70 meters and weights about 8.80 kg and the EP motor size is 160 outrunner. The size of the battery is 2150 - 2700mAh and it comes in white, red and black. It takes about 15 to 20 hours to assemble it from start to finish. It has a preassembled fuel tank and all high quality hardware is included.

All of this won't do much good if you do not have the best glue for the project. There is a new one on the market called the Two Plus. It takes about 5 minutes to set and is resistant to fuel leakage. For that extra hardened effect leaving it for a few hours will guarantee it to be extremely hard and strong. It can be left on the shelf for a long time without the worry of it not setting. This is a hobby on its own and many are trying it out, which allows the to discover all the fun involved, for themselves.
