I nearly fell out of my office chair laughing at the mental picture of Four-One Charlie-Charlie soloing itself with a load of gloves aboard! But it has happened this way before, or so I've read.PS: I wonder if the FAA would require the empty airplane to "self-certify" its medical condition?

a radio control friend of mine was trying dearly to convince me to equip my secondAirCamper with industrial servos and a 40hp engine. I must admit, I entertained the thought but wasn't quite sure what the legal implicationswould be. Especially nowadays with security at it's max. I have hadsome large scale (30-40%) RC planes before, but a full scale RC plane would befreakin amazing.Maybe one day :-)DJ ----- Original Message -----

Bet a full scale Piet taking off with no one in the cockpit wouldbe quite a site."DJ Vegh" (at)matronics.com on 09/30/2002 02:38:47 PMPlease respond to pietenpol-list(at)matronics.comSent by: owner-pietenpol-list-server(at)matronics.comcc:Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: unmanned Pietsa radio control friend of mine was trying dearly to convince me to equip mysecond AirCamper with industrial servos and a 40hp engine.I must admit, I entertained the thought but wasn't quite sure what thelegal implications would be.
