Perhaps wrong choice of words when I said "illegal" to fly oos however AMA (and BMFA) are quite specific on the matter. You cannot see a model aircraft well enough to fly it beyond about 500yards (except a glider straight up). Why would you want the aircraft to fly far from the ship ? Did you browse the UAV site to see the storm raging there regarding this in view of current security fears in US ? Electric power allows even more realistic sounds with real aircraft engine noises played through a speaker system, they include engine start-up whine and cough etc and are proportional, idle to full power roar in synch with throttle position. Deck handling and dispersal after landing, taxi-ing to behind crash barrier ....tricky.
