Max Diecast

I have to say the Dukes of Hazzard is probably my favorite television show of all time, matched in its high-grade intensity only by the A-Team. The memorable horn and tell-tale supercharged engine go hand in hand with the unique banjo twang of the deep south. The colorful culture and one-of-a-kind pursuit of Bo and Luke Duke are American legeneds.

Now I get to own a piece of the legend with die cast cars! Now I’ll never forget where most of my energy as a car-enthusiast comes from. I was really inspired by the acrobatics of the General Lee, able to get 10 or even fifteen feet in the air and continue driving as if it had only gone over a speed bump. Any car designed in the last twenty years would plop onto the ground with an unimpressive thud. But not the General!

I always wanted one of these as a kid but never could get my parents to fork over the cash. The problem there, I think, was this was back in the eighties and remote control airplanes could cost hundreds, even thousands of dollars. Now I can have one for less than a hundred bucks! This small stunt plane is the best deal I’ve found in a toy for a person my age. I guess I could have gotten a real airplane but then I’d have to sell my place in the Hampton’s. Just kidding.

Anyway, the bi-plane is no small feat of engineering, offering superior maneuverability and the versatility to perform a number of tricks and aviation tactics easily. I didn’t even have to spend days building the thing. Right out of the box it’s almost ready to fly requiring only a small amount of assembly. This is a good thing, though, since I got to know a little more about some of the plane’s critical parts. I’d recommend this one to anyone who ever wanted to fly or even just own an RC airplane.
