Watching that I was imagining what flying it over Osama's hideout with a camera mounted inside would looke like. I'd love to see his face when this goes overhead dropping "Pop Its"!

That helicopter stunts video, now this.

My wife and I watched these B-52 vid's last night. Absolutely amazing work those people did. Simply shocking what can be done in model format, and as for myself I'm left wondering how much custom work went into the scaled down jet engines. (I guess I could have web-searched for that but I'm just too busy lately.)

Thanks for the links!!!

Re: Amazing model \'plane

Not sure if these are the same ones, but in an earlier thread I posted some RC B-52 links and those engines were made by Wren Turbines LTD .

There are a few people here at work that simply must see this!!!

Re: Amazing model \'plane

Turbines are quite common in RC these days. They have pretty much replaced the ducted fans in jet models. I still prefer my prop driven aerobatic planes.

Re: Amazing model \'plane

True, they are fairly common now, but that B-52 model is simply amazing!!! It has 8 turbines!!! And it is 23'x23'!!!

Re: Amazing model \'plane

Having flown models quite a bit, I have the feeling the pilot got disoriented. I've seen it happen and the crashes look JUST like that one. And yes, I've done it.
