Guys,

I was amazed by this RC model airplane and then I saw it had twin fans, fully retractable gear and weighed in under 250 grams.  CRAZY. It flew beautifully.

In 1990 an engineer friend of mine (Dave Gevers) were on business in the U.K. and visited a small air museum in East Anglia. They had a non-flying Vulcan on display and for 1 British pound you could climb up though the front hatch, squeeze past the navigator/electronic warfare crew station (this was the 3rd of 3 crew and he lived in a dark, tight cave without windows) and crawled up into the cockpit. It was a ridiculous tight squeeze and no way could I fit in now. Monster plane with no excess interior space at all.
