What kind of a flying object has dimensions just about 4 x 2,5 meters ?
Even Burt Rutan's oddities have more.


Also too small for a Cri-Cri. (Here a twin jet conficuration. !)


I'm not sure if Cyclonic accepts RC-planes in his collection.

I believe RC-controlled planes should be included, otherwise the entire new and next generation of combat surveillance drones, such as the MQ-1 Predator, will not qualify, or should it for now be restricted to the military forum? I am sure that civilian applications will come forward.

You are right Payo !

I forgot altogether Predator and other UAVs.
The database contains all kinds of flying things
(no flying beings though). So UAVs shall be there too.

A great find. Not many RCs found but theres been a few.
I dont put them in the collection because, being the transportation forum, there are no people being transported.
This is more of a Sports & Hobbies post, but without knowing what it is, its no biggie to post them here. I believe almost all of the past RCs found in GE were posted here also.

There used to be 1 or 2 in the collection in the past, thrown in as a sort of easter egg for people to get confused over lol. But since the collection has doubled since then, i removed them when they became a needle in a haystack.

Hi Cyclonic. I believe that to restrict the listing to A/C that transport people is maybe shortsighted because in the not so far future there will be "lighter-than-air" and UAVs transporting goods or loitering as communications relays. I agree that today these are in the experimental phase, but tomorrow?

thank you for your possible ID's

Is it to low to the ground to be distorted image?

best regards
