[X(][X(][X(][X(] tell me that is not a kit because if it is im going buy it and put it on a shelf until im ready haha, amazing

seems like a waste to me. Why invest all that money into one plane when you could get so many awesome smaller planes. And it seems like it would be such a big production just to get it to the field, set it up, fly, tear it down, pack it up.

If i were a milionaire...myabe. then i would do it

Thats what I was wondering,,, plus where do you store something like that? Anyway, I just thought it was cool [8D]

if you understood then you wouldn't have to ask why.

Big Chap: How creepy. It seems like your following me in the threads [X(]

DADDY DADDY I want one too

When it comes down to it. I don't care how much it cost's (I didn't pay for it), don't care how its transported (don't have to transport it). I just think its frickin COOL [8D][8D] I just happened upon that video, searcing for RC videos this afternoon

The only thing I dont get is how you could posible get yourself to acualy fly the thing, knowing that if you screwup you just blew more money then I will ever see in my life...

I guess they just have THAT much money..... Lucky Them

Probablly got it insured. Hope he got that landing gear fixed...

What a stunning achievement! It is beautifull & terrifying at the same time -- I held my breath through the whole video. I'm sure glad they got it down in one piece. I suspect that we may see that model in a full length SAC movie some time (assuming it survives).

check out the jets forums

lots on ıt there.

Looks and sounds just like the real ones. I worked on or around B52's for twenty years. Someone had to do this eventually.

I figured out, that this video comes from the same guys web stite that built a rocket firing comanche Just go to [link]http://www.mcgirt.net/[/link] click on RC, then videos. its called comanche.rm. He scratch built that. From the looks of his web site it looks like he does have some cash. Lucky him

He has info on the B52 there's actually 3 videos, the third being the one I posted:
