reminds me of a time a few years back when I was based in the UAE
for an 8 month contract to fly global freight routes commanding
Boeing 747-200F planes. I had a lot of time off and found a
great entertainment complex that had, among many other things, a
1,000 foot RC model runway, with a fully lighted surrounding area
for night flying (in order to avoid the 125F summer heat of the
daytime). A group of us, all contract freight pilots, joined
the RC club. The Arabs who frequented the club were all very
wealthy and brought large multi-engine and or jet powered models to
fly there. One day, another captain and I were at the model
field alone and after flying in the heat of the day for as long as
we could stand it, I had a brainstorm. The sandy desert area around
the runway was littered with crashed RC models and many of them had
somewhat usable bits and pieces surviving because the wealthy
Emiraties couldn't be bothered to salvage smashed models. My
friend and I scoured the grounds and salvaged a wing here, a half
fuselage there, a slightly damaged landing gear, etc., until we put
together enough junk to actually build a "Frankenstein" RC plane.
It was hilarious, after 2 or 3 days of patching the thing
together, we actually ended up with a flyable model plane. When we
flew it (it didn't fly very well), the rich Arabs got a real kick
out it.

KRZYBooP: How does one avoid cuts while jamming out to smooth
criminal? Is it worth the risk of loosing fingers? I
believe it's Italleri, and it was found under a desk.
