Most of us traded them in on BIGGER pickup trucks;-)

Nice one Jim.......... You could get your whole squadron in that one... We have some here but they need 2 parking bays....They have been downsized too.

Don’t know, never had or wanted one. I drive cars, not battleships. 🙂

American cars are pretty much dead, there are only a few still being produced. Everyone drives trucks or sport utility vehicles. I am one of the odd ones that drives a Fiesta hatchback and hauls planes in the back of that thing. Everything but my Hobbyking B-17's will fit in my Fiesta. I borrow my wife's Ford Escape (Kuga in other parts of the world) to transport the B-17's.

Dang, I wish you would have asked on the livestream tonight or we would have measured. I am sure John will let us know at some point tomorrow.

It manages the terrible grass for Robert:

Avios KingTwin Turboprop Executive Airplane 1700mm BIG Scale PNF Maiden flight (27 min 6 sec)

I ordered one. If pilot Robert and Capt Blaz like it it must be good! Would the reversing speed control from the Bush Mule work on this plane?

Great thank you. RVS ESC's would work on this for sure, though not particularly needed FYI.

Will take an Avios starship next time

That would be cool for the Starship, but I doubt it. Im just happy to see a C-90. Id love to see a Piper Tomahawk come out. Maype a Pipeer Cheyenne. That would be a beast with 4 big paddle props.

we have trucks and trailers

I have a Ram 1500 truck, but for hauling planes I use my Pacifica minivan. Lol

Damn John, and here I was all please with my new VW Touran for transporting models . That's a nice truck sir. There's a lot of F-150's and Rams over here in The Netherlands actually, but they are all converted to LPG, the only way you could afford to run them over here.

My current airplane hauler is a 2018 Chevy Traverse. I love this thing.

The traditional big American family sedans has been replaced by the full-size crossover SUV.

Thanks! I miss my Diesels, this one has the twin turbo v6, they call it an ecoboost, not sure why, nothing eco about it. haha
