I remember ratbastid's thread about this, I loved his onboard video ...after showing it to my 11yo boy back then we had to get him an RC plane, or actually someone else gave it to him for a present. Unfortunately, it wasn't the Wing Dragon so it barely got off the ground a couple times before it started breaking and we abandoned it. Thanks, this reminds me to get him the Wing Dragon this week.
We have a few parks around Phila that have specific areas where RC flying is allowed, and there are usually people or even large groups there doing it on nice days, all sorts of great looking planes. Our favorite is on Valley Forge Rd. on the edge of Valley Forge Park ....we went by there last week late in the day and stumbled on a "star party" with a field full of telescopes!
