A funny thing though, when model turbines come out one of the big name model jet kit manufactures (Bob Violett I think) just modified an existing jet design for a ducted fan (piston engine, internal, with fan blades instead of a prop) and went so fast on the test flight to fly it apart! After turbines became more popular the AMA (the USA R/C governing body) made a speed limit of about 300 mph (480 kph).

Last time I checked turbines were $10,000-$15,000 each. It may have dropped some though.

wow. that makes this lil baby a nice car with some feisty xtras. not to count the 1000s of working hours....

Cool RC plane, though real ones are better.

I'd love to see a RC version of the following:

SR-71 Blackbird:

I can't access the first site, but the second was cool (thanks!).
Reminded me of buying model kits as a kid...

Ok - howabout a R/C B-52?

Consudering the payload of the real thing, I hope this isn't a 100% reproduction...

I would love to have the B52 those guys built. The F14 was cool too with the fire coming out of the engines.

Holy crap. That thing is the size of the Cessna Skyhawk I fly. The full sized one.


It's probably big enough that it requires a transponder. Local approach control radar will definately pick that up...

Too bad the video ended before it landed. I wanted to see how they did with the crosswind evident on takeoff. The didn't do so good keeping it on the runway centerline.

I wonder if it crashed? Perhaps that's why the video was cut short...

Or instead of a R/C plane, one of these:

I flew one b4. I love anything remote control. I was going to get one plane and one helicopter, but I ran short on cash since I needed a comp for college. I'm still going to get them when I have the money. May be a few years.

 

[tazbb22]

awesome but much expensive

 

[SeraphiM]

Like the vid says "But the thing really flies. Friggin awesome!"
IO can imagine the tears that will flow when as Maverick put it "Crash and Burns"

 

[sjs1220]

that was cool!

 

[Steph2005]

This stuff is so cool i've built models but nothing like R?C planes it looks awesome

 

[Dagger_25]
