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...)


Very nice. My only question is... will it drop anything?


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.
