    Abraham what an amazing video, would have thought it was full size if I had seen it alone on the runway.

                                                           Thanks for showing

What a brilliant model, and it flies beautifully as well. I'm not 100% sure, but I doubt he'd be allowed to fly that in the UK - anything over 20kgs has to be certified by the CAA!
Cheers!

I don't know if I would have made that particular model, they seem to keep disappearing.  :Doh:

I kept hoping for a loop!  :)

Not so big, but probably more fun to fly  :drool: : big SR71 Blackbird

I love it when a Plan B comes together!

Is that the one the guy built from scratch ?
Read the build log of it and it was mighty impressive. Detailed right down to the rivets.

wishing my workshop was larger :(

They hold a large scale day at Cosford in the summer. I went for the first time a few years ago and had never seen anything like these before then.
A couple of years ago I saw one of them crash. Luckily well away from the crowd.
The bloke who built it must have been gutted.

my friend always has a joke about my RC Toy, when I get my caravan out with the motor mover on! its not very quick, but it does make people look twice when it is moving on its own. I have a bad back and its the only way I can get it in & out, a good investment.
