3. Are these things bigger than the old RC planes used to be?

I remember my Dad taking me to RC fields, but those planes barely had a 3' wingspan. I thought some of the National Parks were banning RC flight vehicles altogether.

My husband likes to fly his kite with a camera attached, so it's not RC. We make sure we fly it when nobody is around, and not over any houses, yards, etc. -- on the beach, taking pics of the coastline. For every 200 pics you take about 20 or so turn out clear enough that you could frame them or put them in a scrapbook.
