Oh ya look at you go me scale. Love the amount of creativity you've put into this build. Hopefully get to see it in the future in person! Thanks brother...me too. Maybe I can hook it up with a FPV system and just fly it up your way..LOL. They always say our radios can fly as far as one can see...so not sure exactly how far that actually is ..LOL! .....so I ask, does anyone actually know how far a 2.4G radio's siginal can travel?

You should get 1 mile from a 2.8ghz system. If you want more you can change upgrade your system by adding another radio to it on another frequency. I don't know how it work in the US I think you guys need a permet for that. I may be basicly a HAM permit. Have a look here I was looking at their stuff a while ago for FPV. Some of their YT vids are amazing...some a bit dangerous though! team-blacksheep.com/products/prod:ezuhf_txWolf looking good Doc!

Hey BTW can you elaborate on how you made your guns? I like the aluminum look. Thanks Jess, ok...for the first question on the rocket launcher. The pipe I used are 16mm or 5/8th in diameter. As for more details on the guns I fabricated, I've done a quick drawing hope to help answer all your need to know questions. It's basically 5 mm alum. pipes used on the top portion and 2 threaded alum. spacers and a bicycle tire valve extender all held together with a open ended bolt. The alum. spacers is 1 inch long and 3/8th in diameter. Everything is inserted into the wood pieces and epoxy is used to hold it all together. I can't remember where I purchased my extenders from but here is a link to some but they're not silver. You can either paint them silver or do a little search and find some silver ones. www.ebay.com/itm/road-bike-presta-valve-tube-stem-extension-extender-77mm-color-black-/140737268051?pt=Cycling_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20c4984953Hope this picture helps.....

You got me thinking of a quad now...LOL. I am amazed at how far you can actually go with one of those. Thanks for the comments on my Airwolf.

Just did more thinking...I am guessing it doesn't really matter as the flight battery will run out of juice before I'll ever reach you Chris....lol.

Hey doc, I stumbled across this build site and was blown away at the amount of detail this guy puts into his builds. Check it out: www.dennisrc.com/site/awmain.htmIt inspired me!

Yep...that guy is insane! I've watched his entire build, if I was him..I would be scared to fly that thing just b/c there is way too much time putting into it to crash and we all know crashing is part of the deal....
