Many people don't know the work that's involved in building R/C Aircraft. They cant see the underlining structure beneath that shiny covering. What your seeing here is the wing 80% finished , but underneath that balsa sheeting is many ribs and a few spars. And some ribs have cut-outs in them to reduce weight. This wing belongs to my award winner, a Scale replica of a De Havilland Super Chipmunk, Designed in my own colours.
Dad built a flyable wooden aircraft from scratch called a Barracuda.i can relate!!!!

Wow S5, I don't know how I missed this thread? Very cool video's. The wife and I went out today to one of our favorite camping spots just to get out of the house and play with the toys. Amazing how therapeutic this hobby really is and great exercise.

Wow!
Look at all the stuff that transmitter can do. Way too complicated for me. There are too many knobs on a Tube Screamer for me, let alone all the stuff on that thing!
Do you have any planes that can utilize all 20 channels?

This SnowBirds video is one of the best I have watched. This Pilot is skilled. He showed controlled flight, and flew the plane very realistically, as its full blown Brother. Notice he had a good cross wind pushing him, yet he made a controlled and well executed landing. Many of these Jets are capable of speeds 300MPH. In Canada under Regulations Pilots are limited to approx. 240MPH, in parts of Europe, I believe they are able to fly at faster speeds.
