Well guys I hate to rain on your parade but frankly I wouldn't give 2c for any Avanti product. Flimsy mechanical construction coupled with grossly exaggerated claims put me off in the first place, then performance testing of the Astro Plane against a Rad Shack ground plane pretty much clinched it. The icing on the cake came from "Mrs. Roman" across the street who couldn't watch TV until the Astro Plane gave way to the original GP, that misadventure officially earned it the name TVI-O-Plane. We tested several other products and came to the conclusion that a Moonraker was, is and always will be a tall masted sailing ship.
I leave you with this most pleasant thought. You may be familiar with the Italian short phrase meaning "up yours" but what you may not know is in it's most meaningful form it begins with avanti and ends with the number of whacks, however many it takes to get it there.
The Moody Blues summed it up nicely with Legend Of A Mind;
Timothy Leary's dead.
No, no, no, no, He's outside looking in.
Timothy Leary's dead.
No, no, no, no, He's outside looking in.
He'll fly his Astro Plane,
Takes you trips around the bay,
Brings you back the same day,
Timothy Leary. Timothy Leary.
