First come a bazillion wacky proposals, each one that solves some Big Problem while creating 100 more.

Then come 1000 serious aerodynamics engineers and structural engineers who say "yes, that's a solution, but the cure is worse than the disease".

Then it comes time to start developing two commercial jetliners, and the little bits and bobs of good ideas among all the pie-in-the-sky thinking gell into a new airliner.

But I think what you really want to suggest is that someone make a semi-scale stunt model of a DC-3.

That's an interesting idea, but I think a semi-scale stunt Lockheed 10A would be nicer.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

Right on Tim...
What a beautiful model that would make....be it a CLPA semi or a CL scale.

 That would be really cool, I've considered both. Here's one that's not too far off though, Keith Sandbergs' Beech D-18 stunter with two O.S..30's...
