FlyingVizsla Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Saw this article in our local paper - guess the journalist fished around for a picture and came up with this fixed wing model which hardly looks capable of carrying a payload of herbicide with spray bars and 3m rotor disk. http://www.cqnews.com.au/news/weed-war-goes-remote-control/1835255/ Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have flown R/C helis for 10+ years and these guys can fly one after one or two weeks training.... lol more info here http://www.gizmag.com/go/2440/ The media is great at posting miss leading info all the time :) Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
