The American Pilots’ Association (APA), one of the country’s oldest trade associations, has been the national association for the piloting profession since 1884.

However it’s interesting to understand the designs ultimate limits. The model is built to a scale of fourteen to one, and this equals 20 metres in real life size. Later, by slowing down the video, so that it matches the speed of...
