The radio controlled c17 from the Discovery tv show is for sale..[url= http://jets.alshobbies.com/prod_pc_c17.php ]Here at Al's Hobbies[/url]

I have spent a good few hours on the flying field with Ali, and this model flies a treat. Well worth 25K..! 😉

Why not just make it a bit bigger and sit in it?
