I like 'em "BIG"!
Thanks for all the input everyone. I think I have decided to go a head and build it, fly the snot outta it and if it hits the ground? Eeh.... no big. I will just pull the components and toss the frame.
 
you do not want it to end up like this though.....

LOL!!! that was my 1st one. airplane had 20 flights on it or so, it was the 1st time i flew her at my new club. I had her flying inverted, and all of a sudden, at full speed, she made a 90 degree turn in the wrong direction. once i cleaned this mess up, i sent the motor in to DA, and i ordered the last one of these airplanes from Tower hobbies. SO i still have it!! Just not the one in that picture.!!! LOL!! i can laugh about it now! That day, i was crying.

Whoooooaa..... ok, that did not look like it was much fun locating all the scraps of wood so you could re-assemble it. LOL..... Sorry 'bout the "scatter" field debris.
WHAAAUUUTTTTTT!?!?!?!?!?! Dude!!!!
The way I see it? For what I gave for the entire contents, motor, plane, servos, canisters, headers.... If it gets "hammer hucked"..., (like that term by the way).....It will be an experience to remember. What the heck.... can't take 'em with you right?
