Planes?

[MilkyWind]

Does anyone know what kind of plane this is?

I'm trying to figure out if I can buy like a toy model of this plane for a friend if there is such thing.

I don't know anything about planes =(

Cessna 172 Skyhawk from the 70's or 80's.

ooo thanks!

I did a google too, and IRONICALLY, I found a post by my friend also looking to find out where to buy model airplanes in vancouver! I recognize his username haha

I just thought this would make a good birthday present for him, because he's very into planes.

If you really want to knock his socks off, I know they make radio controlled planes that takes off and lands just like their real counterpart. A bit more expensive but if you pool money together, it's worth it!

Oooo thanks for the suggestion.

Price is not an issue for me. But I'm not sure if they would carry them locally. I'll check the list of stores I found when I have time.

Wow, how much would that cost? 10 thousands dollars?

How can it take off in such a short distance in the runway?

It's lightweight and it uses real jet engines. Miniature jet engines, but they can still easily do 300km/h....That's gotta be about $10k I'd say. Something 'entry level' is about $1-2k...like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_agVC08oy98

Mini air-induction turbine engines will set you back $3000-$4000 each. Body is another $1500, electronics in the plane is another $2000-$3000. Basically you can buy a decent economy car for a plane like that.

Its closer to $20-35k, not including time. I saw it profiled on TV.
