Hmmmm, I seem to remember reading something somewhere about "Life, Liberty
and the Pursuit of Happiness". Something about inalienable rights?

Seems to me that these guys are living up to exactly that. And you're just
envious because you, for whatever reason, cannot.

Good for them, and **** you.

It's based in Britain, I believe. You'll have to consult their
bureaucracy. (

2. Homeland Security is going to have Kittens when they see this.
They are already trying to shut down model rockets as a threat
to our nation's airways.

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.

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?

Yep, the balance in the builder's checking account!!

If you tell me their next project is a scale MOAB, I'm going to be scared.

Good for them,

Does it matter that the people in question are British?

I used to fly RC and have known many non-rich (besides myself) and non-whites.
Kind of shoots that whiny theory down, doesn't it, flutterblast?

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"...

So what's your point?

Yeah. Some guys buy fast cars. Others actually have fun with their
money.

Could anyone see the videos? It looks like they were removed from the server.
