The whole plane is pull/pull and is done up in Lothar Von Richtofens colors. An Anylink will be include so you can fly it with virtually any radio. Paul, bring your check book, your gonna want this.

[quote]ORIGINAL: JDHammer My first ODP. Wow, just wow... The aeroplanes were phenomenal, everyone going the extra mile to add the scale details. Camping out, catching the first flights at dawn- doesn't get better than that! If you're on the fence about whether to fly your first event, don't be. The folks at ODP have really thought of everything, you will have the time of your life. Special thanks to Paul, Michelle, Lori, Lee, Gary, Mike, and Ed A. , See you next year. Jim in PA. P.S. Photo is Paul's Sopwith Camel bashed from a Balsa Pup kit with added Mick Reeves features. [/quote] [b]Jim, If you ever want to come out and do one of our famous "camp and fly" (JC stop laughing!)
