This ^^^ is why you seldom see F-104s as RC planes.

I never built one, but I've been tempted a thousand times. One of my best buddies is very active, and I did get to fly his a few times, he had another override controller in case I screwed up. But I drove competition RC cars for many years, so I was decent with the controller and not confused when the thing is coming towards you  I did step aside and let him land, as with flying RL, landings are the hardest part.

I did attend many of their club meets, and I was a judge in several contests when it came to paintjobs. I cannot judge their builds but I know a little about painting planes. A great hobby I've stayed away from because I know I'd dump 5 figures in no time.
