^ in sept we have a RC plane event at the local airport. They just got word they don't have to close the airport for the weekend afterall...if they don't fly the last 10 minutes of every hr and they stop if they get a plane wanting to land. We went a couple of days last yr. These guys are crazy $$$$ into their hobby. there are even little model people in some of the RC cockpits.

My dad is one of those peopole that has crazy $$ into RC. We started building/flying them together when I was about 13 (great father/son bonding). He has a detached garage at the back of the house that was his workshop. I now refer to it as the hanger, because of the number of RC planes that he has in there (10-15). I'll always remember the day that I crashed my RC model P-51 Mustang that I built. The maiden flight was perfect; the second flight, on my landing approach, a nasty cross-ind caught one of the wings, and I watched the plane disintegrate as it cartwheeled down the runway. :bawling:

^That plane with the Godzilla pilot was wrecked and repaired a time or three. I had a .60 size P-51 that ended it's maiden flight as a pile of balsa splinters due to radio failure. It did some pretty cool uncommanded aerobatics before it vanished into the corn.

Okay, I have been thinking about this. We should engineer some "drones" that can be shot down, and some ultra expensive drone shooting equipment. I am sure there will be people that would pay $10K-$50K to shoot drones over this town just like guys from NYC will pay $6K to shoot a hog in TX or Oklahoma. I think the drones could be your standard remote control airplanes/gliders.

Never go to Greeley on Wednesday. That's blood burning day at the packing plant and the smell is too much.
It looks like parts of Colorado are trying really hard to push that secession.
