Damn.

You know you're into the edges when your "scale model" plane is heavier
than some legal *piloted* flying machines.

(Some guy built a C-130 on about the same scale, which would do LAPES or
paradrops...)

The dump mechanism in the back would toss out pretty much anything up to
a shoebox size (they had a dummy package with a parachute extractor
attached), and the "paratroop" dropper would push out whatever fit in
the conveyor belt (toy paratroops, of course).

*Way* cool.

Put an operating bomb bay and external racks on it and be seen practicing....

I noticed the gear didn't retract and the vertical stab was thicker than scale.
I assume there's a reason. I wonder what airfoil the vertical stab and wings
are in the model. How does one determine CL on a swept wing?

Seems to me that these guys are living up to exactly that. And you're just

Agreed. I fly RC. The FBI has already visited one of the Muslim
members of my club to see why he was buying hydrochloric
acid in large quantities--he was anodizing some of his engine
parts. He answered the door wearing one of his nuclear
shirts--he's a physicist who works for a local university reactor.

Do you happen to know if it was a TRIGA reactor...?

Reason I ask is that those reactors were designed at our elementary school - no
kidding! (1956-1959, it was home to General Atomic, "to develop peaceful uses
for atomic energy".)

MOAB's too big for a BUFF's bomb bay, isn't it?

Some friends of mine have, for years, been holding an informal "Siege
Engine Competition" to see how far one may propel a standard
twelve-ounce beer can. I idly suggested once that one ought to build a
tenth-scale B-52 and load it with a couple cases. Not being much of a
mathemetician, I have no idea what the payload of a tenth-scale BUFF
would be, though.

Instead of an "Arc Light" strike, it'd be "Bud Light"...

At Wri-Pat they have a BUFF and a mockup MOAB on display.

1. I'm not sure about W&B, but the bomb bays of the BUFF will easily
fit 4 MOAB's. Remember, BUFF was designed in the early 50's to

Thanks that is an awesome model. I know the site where they fly, I have
been to occasional meets there - but not for some time.

I did mange to see one video and the first take off was obviously from a
full sized airfield. The taxi did seem to be at the model airfield,
which does have a tarmac runway.

I think it's a war crime to use Bud Light. Something about chemical

Egad! Think what would happen with a load of Pearl or National Bohemian!
Or worse yet, Narragansett! If any of those diseased horse **** in a
