Thx Jan How about your info on this? -- Paul McIntosh http://www.rc-bearings.com > More info on this ? > > Thx Jan SkyFunNews schreef: TURKIJE BANT MODELVLIEGTUIGEN TIJDENS NAVO-TOP ZATERDAG 29/5/2004 ISTANBOEL - Uit angst voor terreuraanslagen op de NAVO-top eind juni heeft deTurkse politie de verkoop van op afstand gestuurde modelvliegtuigen verboden. Het verbod geld ook voor minihelikopters en zweefvliegtuigjes met afstandsbediening. De veiligheidsdiensten vrezen dat terroristen het vliegende speelgoed met springstof zullen beladen en gebruiken voor een aanslag op de NAVO-top. Speelgoedwinkels in Instanboel moeten alle modelvliegtuigen uit de rekkenhalen. Het verkoopsverbod blijft de hele maand juni van kracht. In translation: Turkey bans model-aircraft during NATO-meeting. Fearing terrorist-actions at the NATO-meeting end of june, police prohibits selling R/C aircraft, including helicopters and sailplanes. Security fears terrorists to load explosives into the crafts. All shops in Istanbul have to clear the shelves of modelairplanes during the whole month of June. | In translation: Turkey bans model-aircraft during NATO-meeting.

My aircraft can barely get themselves of the ground yet alone a payload of HE likely to cause any damage. I don't need HE to blow up my planes... I do pretty good just slammin' into the ground!
