[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

RE: Now This is a Plane
 

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

RE: Now This is a Plane
 

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

RE: Now This is a Plane
 

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]:D I just happened upon that video, searcing for RC videos this afternoon ;)

RE: Now This is a Plane
 

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...

RE: Now This is a Plane

RE: Now This is a Plane

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).

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 :D 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 :D

The heck with just newbies... Just about every one of us would have to strive for that! Very cool. That takeoff made me nervous! Beautiful landing too.
