Exactly! The only thing better in the remake is that the aircraft is designed to look as it really was made out of bits from the Boxcar, which the better film's didn't! Sadly a waste of money that film is, and the story is blander, as the wise guys in Hollywood decided to drop the "enthic" conflict in the original, as the model airplane designer in that version is ex-German, while everyone else is Anglo-Saxon, and it happens just a few years after the war ...
