Thunder
The project Thunder is about the airfield where remote control planes can fly near the small airport “Gastone Novelli”; here registered people at the group G.A.R. are allowed to train and practice.
A great advantage offered by the aircraft models is that they allow hobbyists to take a “divine” point of view, a sort of illusory “eye of god” that puts in apparent condition of superiority who created the model in question.
The activity of production & customization of the pieces produced in series, reveals the appearance of great competition among amateurs, in particular, in the “game” of Airplanes-modelling, individualism coexists with a sense of belonging to the hobbyist’s group. It is a sort of club or a tribe, with its own language, with a code of rules that you are forbidden to break or you are out from the group.
The first priority is to be the best “simulator” among the others.
The aircraft-models are personalized and fun representations of real aircrafts; the real airport is operating really close to the airfield, and with its activity it considerably resizes the ambitions of modelers who can compete with regular airplanes, winning in skill, chromaticism and absence of risks to the pilot.
