I flew a Buster,, smaller leading edge, lower profile wing. I did build a Flite StreaK for a.15 for the first plane. They are Tuff. I smashed and repaired it many times. One of the last.35 planes I built was a Streak,too, I built it with the trailing edges hinged and operated opposite direction of the elevators.
I liked slotting the fuselage and epoxying in a 1oz lead weight. Wingover, pop the last three fingers open, close, and the plane could be made to fly backwards for a coupla feet. Naturally not a good idea in slow combat.
Worked with the Buster, too.
I ran six gallons of fuel through the Enya before it needed a piston and sleeve. Man those were some times.

I had planned to purchase a quad copter this past summer with the intent to use it for filming for Television News, Surveyors and Realtors.
I see the need for them in the future, but now I will have to get a license to just fly one if it has a camera, and cannot sell any video I take.
It would prove to be a great business venture for me here in florida (filming advertisements for the area), but since I cannot sell said video, it might not be in my future, unless I hire on to the businesses for the time I take the video, but would not receive any proceeds from it.
FPV is also questionable now.... you have to have two people if one is wearing a full FPV setup (well goggles anyway).
One must see the actual "vehicle" and surrounding objects, other restrictions are left to the local laws....such as not flying over crowds, or flying dangerously close to buildings and vehicles.
Going to have to study the actual laws one would have to go by, as I am within a few miles of two air force bases and two airports.

I had a Buster too. Great plane. Most of my engines were Fox. Cheap to buy and nearly indestructible as long as you used castor oil as the lubricant.
(I love the smell of hot castor oil n the morning.) Grin

Dd you know that a lot of the engines n WWI aircraft used castor oil as the lubricant? Pilots would get it in the face as they flew and wound up with diarrhea- to the point that some wore diapers. Shocked

I went to a WWI flight weekend at the Wright Patterson Airforce base in Dayton, Ohio a few years ago. They had a few planes that used the original LeRhone rotary engines. The engine has an oil pump that mixes the oil with the fuel/are mix. The valve gear is exposed and the unburned castor oil that comes out the exhaust is a mist that lands on the exposed valve gear and keeps it lubricated. The engines have shrouding that is supposed to keep the exhaust and oil going under the plane, and when the plane lands the entire bottom of the plane is coated and dripping with oil. Some of the oil does make it's way to the top of the fuselage and to the pilot.
