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.

The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"

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..

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.

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:

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.
