    Naw I'll just put it on some air mattresses and float it on the lake. Then do it all fpv while doing a headstand...:Yawn:

          That's the whole point. The challenge. But yeah even in hurricane Harvey as well as Sandy when I was stationed in Newport News (Ft Eustis) Virginia. I flew in both because it's a challenge many wont take and plus I was just bored and needed to test some modifications I made to my planes at the time. Me and one other guy was there. He flew his parkzone wildcat, while I flew an F35 that I pulled the 65mm fan out of to install a 70mm and added retracts. It flew well, but disappeared here and there in the mist of the storm. However I got her down right at my feet and picked her up and to my truck. Then in Harvey I flew my fpv wing in that. Honestly that was very cool, having the plane almost sitting still with the airspeed indicator showing 65mph. Had to come in very low and then almost dive her to the ground to get her down safely. It was a pain but so much fun. Point is, never doubt your flying capability, challenge it.

              I can get all 4 of these in my Civic, and none needs disassembly. Guys are always doing a double take - “...you get all those in that?”

                Hahaha yea, indeed I get around 8 to 10 planes in my equinox, my record is 13. What gets people is I do this with a dual sub box in the back and the seats up. I love getting them all in the sky as well

                  Rifleman, shoot a pic of that next time. I want to see how creative you with the space. I have a 6x12 trailer and have just redid it to make more room. I still have a little more to do or actually quiet bit more to do and add to it.

                      Copy that, will do, I normally have to take atleast the wings off, then stack the wings in back then take the fuselages and load them side by side on the back seat carefully. Had all these in there at one time lol

                        That carrier challenge video was great! I had been wanting to see something like that done well. They should install a PLAT Cam on the deck so that an LSO (Landing Signal Officer) can guide in the pilot on the right glide slope.

                        Here is the view from a PLAT cam in DCS, which by the way just recently added carrier operations.

                          Indeed, I would be standing near the deck I make, so I can guide myself in on target. I think from that prospective it will make things easier than standing off target.

                            Standing off from the deck is part of the challenge.

                                      I still think Foil is a MiG 15, 17 or 19. Possibly a MiG 25.
