Beautiful, little half scale RC model

4 cylinder, air cooled, boxer engine

Tit bits
No 'Mickey Mouse' kit builds here.  These were all built by serious craftsmen, from scratch and took hundreds of hours to build.
Saw some some model sailplanes with pusher electric motors and folding props.
The pilots use the motors for take off and altitude and can keep them aloft for a long time, kicking in the electric motor to regain altitude and maintain the sailplane over the designated flying area.
