Where are the pilot stations!!!

Brian Kizner could teach them a thing or two on how to land in a crosswind though.

good selection of planes. I enjoyed the different sound of the various power systems. I don't know if I could help them with their landings but there were a few interesting ones.

but.. but.. they are HUGE! I always thought Europeans were sensible, at least it seemed so the many times I visited them countries over there...

We need a bigger, longer and wider runway guys.

With all the electronics available, when do we get an automatic landing system. It seems like a universal thing.

We need a cross runway, like the one we used to have...

Wow. Those are impressive planes. On the other hand, I hope that there was a terrible crosswind, otherwise they don't have much excuse for their landings.

Big plane = lots of work = lots of money = damage more extreme = more likely to have a short life. So WHY OH WHY do they build them so big only to lose them after a few flights? If you can't afford to lose it, don't build it.

I've also noticed over my 30 years of RC that there is a statistical anomaly where the larger the plane, the lower the pilot's skill (experience). Particularly in the landing. This applies only to scale airplanes.

Oh and one other reason, I'd rather get hit by an errant 1 kg foamie than a 20 lbs monster with lots of metal on the nose.
