Amazing RC plane
 

not sure where this should go, not really a hobby forum here

absolutely amazing...

That is pretty fucking awesome. I wonder what it cost to build that thing.

It doesn't look that great from the picture because you don't get an appriciation of the size unless you notice the runway.

That helps out better :)

And I'm guessing somewhere in the $5,000 - $10,000 range.

thats pretty badass...

ive got a lil remote control plane... still needs to be covered and have the guts installed...

Holy shiat. That's cool. I love the sound it makes as it's flying overhead.

Wow. I'm impressed. They sound like real jet engines too, I wonder how they do that.

That is like SOOOO UBER.....
I can get into something like this....

:) nice! i just don't have the dexterity to build it... wish i did... but godzilla seems to always stomp on my plane somehow....

Wow, that's beautiful!
I would be afraid to fly something that expensive, though.

way more then 5-10k, if it has actual turbines your looking at probably 5k a piece for them.. (depending on the specs) then the aircraft is probably around 8-20 depending on what is all in it, and what it is made out of..

This thing is crazy. I think we need to load this up with some warheads and send it to Afghanistan.

We already have our Predator spy planes.

They are jet engines :)

Now they just need to install a camera in the cockpit :D

I was thinking/certain of the same thing. They sure sound like jet engines.

Seems like it would b a pain to land that

Speaking of RC Stuff, anyone know where on the net to shop for this stuff? I want to get my son into it, and looking around the other day, it seems that all the hobby stores in the DC area closed since I was a lad...

Amazing, the time, detail.

Good for long range remote control bombing I assume. That would be great to stuff the bombing bays full of stink bombs and "level" Disneyland or something.

Holy cow!! That thing is just freakin' awesome! And I'm not even a fan of rc planes. I am, however, a fan of the B-52. The detail is just phenomenal. I'd be afraid to fly it, for fear of busting it up.

I love this.

Planes of this scale and sophistication are making significant contributions to many human endeavors.

Here's an example: check out the "PRODUCTS" section.

Now that is one nice RC airplane.

Itty bitty jet engines! I wonder if the bomb bay works.

That is pretty cool. I would be so afraid to fly it after all the time spent working on it my luck I would crash the thing while trying to land it.

I hope all those guys are married 'cause that ain't gonna help 'em get laid.

i saw a video of that on milkandcookies.com that plane is fucking incredible!

That's pretty cool. Don't be surprised about the jet engines; I've seen gas turbine engines that are about that size. Pretty decent thrust/weight ratio too.

I want a stealth bomber version.

Wow! I'm very impressed! That's one expensive looking toy. Sounded pretty noisy didn't it? That's means you'd probably have to fly it at an abandoned airstrip or somewhere similar.

I didn't believe they made jet engines that small, I thought there was a size requirement. A few minutes and googling later:

Impressive links! Thanks for posting them.

Here's the link the manufacturer of the jet engines for the plane

amazing

They really do need a camera in the cockpit.

Amazing still though

I'd be carpet bombing the ducks down at the park here so hard if I owned one of those.

haha carbet bombing that's awesome

Fly it over Germany and see how they react. :D

thread moved to tilted motors

Woah... amazing

Now this is awesome. Can't believe that thing existed! WOW

Seems to me, now that I've thought about it, that the Germans might come up with scale model flack.

Man that is so cool....I my world I wonder with it being so small how tight the tolerance specs must be for a jet engine.

Must someone who would fly these things atleast on that scale have a license of some sort.

thats pretty freakin sweeet

i've seen that at an RC airshow before :D

hee hee, I could get behind that! that plane is awesome.

i e-mailed the guy and what i got back...

downloaded the movie files ...and.... this thing even sounds like a real aeroplane

freaky hobby

If you guys are interested in getting into model airplanes, boats, cars, etc. go to towerhobbies.com. I use to fly prop planes for a while when I lived in CA. Now I live in AZ and it's too hot to fly! I do have a couple gas cars though.
