- Hello,
-
- After visiting my local hobby store and seeing some 'Z' gauge model railroad
- equipment, it made me wonder how miniaturized RC planes, boats and cars can
- get and still be controllable. For example, most cars are 1:10 scale (or
- thereabouts), but how about 1:50, or even smaller? How small can RC airplanes
- get, and still fly controllably? The same for boats? How small can/do
- practical gasoline engines get for those micro applications? (same question
- for battery/electric motors).
-
- Well, you know where I'm coming from. I'd find it fun and challenging to
- go to micro-miniaturized RC equipment. Maybe this could form the basis for
- a startup company. half :^) I believe that it would definitely be a big
- thing.
-
- I look forward to your feedback.
