I found these pics while surfing the web. heres the link to the site. Its a C-17 GLOBEMASTER powered by 4 JetCat P120. do the math thats over 100 lbs of thrust hauling this model through the air. I believe the guy who owns it is von C. Strauss. Form what I found he lives in the UK. well if you see this von, my hats off to you on an amzing model. you deserve it.

Now on to this beautiful C-17. I was amazed at how big this beast of an airplane is. If anyone has any info on this plane please let me know. something like price/cost, wingspan, lenght, weight ect. That would be awsome.

Hi Guys.
yesterday I managed to get the last of the 8 Check flights out of the way with the Big C-17. One of the guys who was at the meeting took a video and kindly posted it on you tube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldIV0-6DXqI
