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

BigGov

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.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. 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!"

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

aurigus

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

BuDDaH

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

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..

Fat_Boy

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.

MSD

They are jet engines

GakFace

Now they just need to install a camera in the cockpit

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

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...

Cycler

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.

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

Yalaynia

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

DelayedReaction

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.

Craven Morehead

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

Stare At The Sun

They really do need a camera in the cockpit.

Amazing still though

Phaenx

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

Super Model

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

denim

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

RaDiAn

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.
