We can't make it fly, but it sure is fun to run. Tyco's un-real looking " Terrain Twister" has a most unusual propulsion system, and was complete with 2 Nimh batteries. I was given this machine, so don't know how much it costs. Thanks for watching.

Battling 25-35 mph winds with higher gusts, I take the tiny Firebird Phantom to the highest hill in Iowa and test it's "slope soaring" (wind gliding) ability. I was pleasantly surprised (again) as this little bird, easily handled the high winds and will glide for hours on 1 battery charge. I even...

In just under 4 hours, leftover parts were used to make a neat RC airplane as demonstrated in Mr. Herbert's Science Class. It's called "The Junkyard Dog". Using mostly COX airplane parts from models gone by the wayside, I'll show you how I made mine with no plans or a kit. Tired of the noise...

Amazingly, Aerofly took an experimental aircraft (that was scrapped) and made it for the Aerofly Pro Deluxe RC simulator, so we could find out how hard the plane was to fly in real life! That's commendable. On April 29, 1954, James F. "Skeets" Coleman, a Lieutenant Colonel in the Marine...
