Question. What keeps an aeroplane in the air?

Answer: Lots and lots of money.
It would have cost mega-bucks to put this baby in the air.

Hi Piper Pilot and Sky Trek,

That A380 model is unbelieveable! WOW! That's the most exciting thing I've seen lately!

Are the engines piston powered ducted fans? How much does it weigh? What do you think it's range and payload is? Did you have to design it from scratch?

I was thinking about building a homebuilt real aircraft to fly, perhaps I should have you build me a Concorde!

Is it made out of balsa wood, or is it fiberglass? Tell me more about it, WOW!

Hi Skytrek: Thanks for the links. The one about turbines is AMAZING...and they even burn Jet-A. Who would have thunk? I guess you have to be a real modeling enthusiast to anty up the cash.... lets say for 4 of whatever model you choose. SPOFF
