I was there with Don and Allan when we ran the Alien Recovery RS-3 and the engine ran perfectly, both in forward and reverse. Plus the sounds are just neat. Had a ball actuating them.
However, when I ran it later after they walked away from our test layout, I found that (blush) I needed a little pilot training before I got the Area 51 RS-3 to run smoothly.
Again, the sounds are just nothing but fun! Glad I ordered a set.
Drat, where is a 5 year old to show you how to use a remote when you really need one
Oh, by the way, the remote has an on/off switch. Works better in the on position.
