Wow maybe I'll grab some spare parts and try to turn one into an RC plane. I forgot about these. Although some hallowing and reinforcing is going to be needed.

But remember, as this instructional video clearly demonstrates, you'll have to carefully adjust the elevator trim so that when you release the sticks and throw the plane, it will perform a tight loop, right into the back of your head.  (Modifying the setup to hit your friend in the head instead also appears to be an acceptable configuration.)

OUCH!

 

It's good to show these as real flying is nothing like a video game sim.

That last one made me laugh so much I cried!

Hmmm.  That first one reminds me of my first takeoff. :-(  Smaller plane though, fewer pieces :-)
