The RC planes aren't expensive compared to all the ammunition those
dickheads wasted, even with the massive amount of fire power they still
took a long time to hit one of the planes which shows how useless most
Yanks are, no wonder they can't win a war.

How did that saying go in the North African campaign in WW2?

When the British fired the Germans Ducked.
When the Germans fired the British ducked.
When the Americans fired everybody ducked.

Looks like their accuracy hasn't improved.

One look at their faces and you just _know_ their parents were siblings.

When I was in the army we kept the number of expended rounds to an absolute
minimum 'cause cleaning our weapons afterwards was such a pain in the arse.
These dickheads, by the looks of it, live for that.

So, how many shots did it take you to do it?

BTW, not quite as explosive as our Territory Day fireworks or Greek
Easter, but definitely looks more FUN.

That does sound strange as I used to enjoy cleaning my rifle. I have a
fair amount to do with army guys (Oz troops posted here) so I'll have to
ask them about it when they get back from Wewak.

We did ask when buying the 20' airship about it's reaction when shot or
hit with an arrow. The response was 2 hits should be fine and still be
able to land in a controlled manner. Reminds me I have to fly it next
week (Anzac day) for the Morobe Golf Open. It is a bit of a strain on
the nerves flying that amount of money about amongst the trees but I'll
hit up the sim and see how I go. There is a model for FMS available for
download. It isn't perfect but it isn't too bad and it is of a blimp
from the same company.
