Went to Singapore 3 years ago. Going thru customs I get asked the typical crap about if I had any guns or knifes.
I tell the agent that I am having trouble with their version of English so speak slow.
So he stands closer and talks louder, with the same sing, sing version.

Whoa that is amazing! Always wanted a remote control plane since I was a kid. That is next level. Perfect touchdown as well. Nice find.

In my day most scale radio control planes were about 6 to 8 foot wingspan, gliders a bit more. Depending on the size of the original aircraft that meant you were working at 1/6th or maybe 1/7th scale. Never been too sure about the increasing size as time has progessed - makes me start to think why bother to make a scale model, why not just fit radio gear to a full size aircraft? And then you start thinking what's the point.

You need a civil aviation license to fly models as big as this and so they are very hard to find somewhere to fly legally.

Impressive though.

Wow. I wonder if that was that built out of a kit or from scratch? Seems like the budget would have to be half a million or more to build it from the ground up. Impressive indeed.

Good save on final, looks like they hit some wind sheer.. Love the engineering of the little stuff, but can't beat the real thing.
