Massachusetts Man Plotted to Blow Up Pentagon
Just great. This will not help us in any good way. He sure picked a nice time to do it also given that one bill is still in process (last I heard anyways).

One funny thing is he did not seem to know squat about flying as he had multiple pounds of C-4 and was planning to use some F-86 foamy as far as I can tell from the story. No way that sucker was going to get off the ground with anything but a few ounces. Idiot.

the f86 was the hobby lobby foamy fj-3 fury.... a slow anemic edf to begin with.
 specs:Wing span: 34 1/2 in Length: 34 3/4 in Wing area: 212 1/2 sq in Weight: 30 oz Servos: 5x 9g Receiver: 4+ channel Battery: 4s 2200mah lipo Motor: 2600kv brushless Fan Unit: Stock 80mm ESC: 45A w/ BEC Available From: Hobby Lobby MSRP: $219.99 as for that "f-14 Phantom" or the black f-4 phantom looks like its a nitro ducted fan to me. Either way, isnt it like a 20 mile flight pasth he was planning to have and done without any FPV equipment... kindna hard to fly from the ground over a mile away, much less father. |

Yeah, they said something like 6 lbs of C-4 and wanted to have 3 planes? Huh? Dumb overall. If you really wanted to do this and had a clue you would buy a big telemaster as those suckers can truly haul a nice payload and would be easy to fly via fpv comparatively.

Just great. Well, on the bright side, this mastermind did not know much about concepts like wingloading. |

Has anyone actually seen a definitive report as to what models this guy actually had?
I've seen all sorts of pictures and they looked like they were just pulled off the web.. ..a |

I read the AMA thing they sent out, seemed like this was just a random guy that had no clue what he was doing, its scary.
