The DC10 Supertanker can drop 12,000 gallons of water in eight seconds.
The
DC 10 Supertanker delivers water from a series of external tanks
mounted along its centerline. The water delivery system uses
computerized gravity feed.
The
California Dept. of Forestry and Protection was so impressed with the
results of the DC-10 Supertanker tests that they commenced utilization
of its services in 2006.

RC Airplane built by Peter Michel.
Radio Control Airplanes:
Pictured
above and in the first two pictures below is yet another giant scale RC
Airplane built by master craftsman Peter Michel.
The DC-10 radio control airplane has a wing span of 124". Length of the RC Airplane is 136".
Weight of the radio control airplane is about 44 lbs. Michel powers his
RC Airplane with a single 29 lb. thrust turbine in the tail.
The bottom picture below is of the nice looking RC 309 radio control airplane by EDF Model. Wing span of the RC Airplane is 78" and length is 70".
Recommended power for the radio control airplane is by a pair of
Typhoon 600-33 brushless motors driving WeMoTec Midi Fans. An engine in
the tail is not recommended for the RC Airplane. All up weight is
around 9 lbs. for the RC 309 Model radio control airplane.
If you have a favorite DC-10 RC Airplane or if you know of plans, kits or an ARF DC-10 radio control airplane, please email us.
