If someone makes a 1/144 scale kit of Connie, you could build a legit 1/24 scale diorama around it now!  I'm thinking a truck of some kind (probably a trailer, too) is involved....

Only one word 'bout that Connie, WOW!

Boy,if I could build that ( I could not ) I would not have the guts to try and fly it.

Revell and Minicraft both produce 1/144 Connies. 

Are you talking about forced depth in a diorama using different scales? Ain't no way a 1/144 aircraft with a 10" wingspan going to work next to a 1/24 vehicle.

That is awesome! The last time I saw a large scale RC plane was about 5 years ago when there was a small airshow here. That one was a B17.

I tried my hand at RC planes in the late 60's as a teenager. The RC equipment was expensive as all get out and not very dependable I believe it came from Auto World too! I could be mistaken as it was a long long time ago.

Was flying the plane I designed and built at a field near the old strip pits when the wind caused it to drift to the west and over sone high tension wires and I lost control and it just kept heading north out of sight!

Guys searched the area for over two weeks on and off but never saw a sign of it. Most likely went into one of the pits or channels and sank.

The wifes brother in law has a hobby shop and sells a ton of RC stuff planes and the cars. They were running a track in the town they live in but since he moved his shop to town here where I amm I don't know if he handed it off to someone else or not.

Thanks for posting the video!

No I'm talking about a 1/24 diorama of a couple guys setting up a 1/6 scale RC Connie like the one in the video.

Now, that makes sense! It would be a really cool diorama.

That is really wild.Should throw a camera in the nose cone.
