From full out air racing to mid-air and landing mishaps, this video presents a look at Giant Scale Radio Control Air Racing. These planes are BIG and can weigh up to thirty pounds and have a wing span over eight feet. The cost to built these monsters can range from five to fifteen thousand dollars!

Wayne Handley's scale Raven radio control kit made its debut at the El Toro airshow. This was a very popular R/C kit in the mid-90's and sold world-wide.

The scale Raven was a great handling plane and R/C pilots gave it rave reviews. Besides loops and rolls, the challenge was on to produce some of the same maneuvers of the full size Raven. Mastering torque rolls, tail slides, and the end-over-end flips was the most fun.

Shooting Radio Control aircraft is a tremendous challenge. The speeds approach 200 mph and maneuverability is "off the scale". Being only 50 feet from the aircraft as it flys by at 100-200 mph is a rush.

Wayne Handley's Turbo-Raven is the culmination of his dream to have an aerobatic plane that could outperform anything in the world.

Here is a detail shot of the cockpit of the R/C F-100. What else is there to say?
