    Silly and expensive things, like RC submarines. When they do what they are supposed to, you don't see very much. As a bonus you get a free round of diving anytime that thing does not come up again. Flying models also cost a few bucks, but at least they don't stay up in the air when something goes wrong. Instead, they usually are smashed to stamp sized fragments. How about something that can't sink or crash. Something that is not so fast and even survives falling off a cliff. Something like a model tank, like this one?[^] Edit: Come on, take a look at that picture of a German Tiger :-)

    The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
    This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

      I spent a lot of time, when much younger, building stuff. Lego is great. :-)

      Sure it's great, but it's too heavy and would quickly fall apart when I tried to lift off.

            No, my rocket times already are over for some time. I will probably not get bigger or faster ones.

                  I remembered it! And Dilbert has a search facility, so a quick search: "Airspace": Search Results for Airspace | Dilbert by Scott Adams[^] - nothing. "Missiles": Search Results for Missiles | Dilbert by Scott Adams[^] - Second strip. Done. It's not perfect - I haven't found a term that will get me "the databits are flexed through the collectimizer" - but it's pretty good.

                      If you haven't emailed the EASA yet regarding the proposed new European regulations on RC model flying, please consider doing so. I have and am waiting for a reply.
