Hello!

My name is Rob, and I have a crazy project that I need to sound out and was hoping your kind members may be able to point me in the right direction please?

In a nutshell how possible is it to get a 1/6 RC Spitfire (or Lancaster) across the English Channel whilst being filmed?

Is this a mad dream, as I want to crowdfund ALL the money required to build, convert, equip a 1/6th aircraft to take a 12" Action Man. Any of you fancy the journey / anyone you know?

Could it make the return journey?

I have recently been behind this (ongoing) project that was successful and spectacular!:

Great so it can be done!

Does anyone know Mike's contacts. A Bleriot XI plane would be an option!

Rob you should join the Large Model Association web forum as you will be able to contact Mike there.

The Bleriot has also crossed the channel in model form:
