List,
I am not really a fan of posting non LBC topics to this list but this was
just too cool to not pass on. A guy in the UK has built a very large scale
B-52 RC plane that actually has 8 jet engines on it. He could probably take
his cat or small dog up in this thing!
The link below will get you to a 9 minute video of a flight of the model.
It took over two years to build and requires several RC pilots to operate
all the functions while it is in flight. Check out the speed brakes upon
landing..
The flight was in England so it really isn't totally off topic.
Again, sorry to those who will be offended but I couldn't resist... I
promise I won't do it again ;).
