 I bet thats a dream BV! I would love to see one of those. Is that considered an ultralight class?
Oh and the RF-5 as well of course.

Ultraffy do a Cirrus and you could add one of your Paraglider wings as a ballistic parachute.
That would be some hybrid!

nope, like those really expensive new jet fighters that you have to drop bombs and shoot and kill people to fly.
Tis a shame really. That the most technologically advanced aircraft we have also have bombs, rockets and machine guns on them.
Its all Fly By Wire and the nav system is spectacular!
I got really sick of the "traffic" warning system yelling at us the whole time. ...Traffic traffic traffic...

Ahhh the RF4, now there's a rarely modeled aircraft. In fact my very first RC plane was an RF-5 ARF by Cox. The Sportavia.
Was a foam ARF, and only 2 channels for rudder & elevator. Had a QRC .049 engine.
 
I certainly would love to see one of these rare planes availble, and would go for it quickly just to re-live my first RC experiences.
