				I know a man that does... And my brother dabbles, but nothing like that. That's some fairly heavy duty looking kit you have there

				I am into WW2 aircraft models and have Lancaster and an ME262  but none that can fly but I am amazed at how good some of these kit planes are
I am sure there is great enjoyment in flying these models

				Thanks for the reply's. Been flying radio control model planes for some years now, two of these planes are powered by Japanese 26cc fuel injected 4 stroke engine's as in the photo below, produce about 3 bhp on a mixture of up to 30% nitro.

				I'd love to have a go but I know it would all end in tears.  Some of the planes are amazing feats of model engineering.
I just watched the Russians in this vid.  The pilot's head even moves in the grey Yak!
