a few years back I saw a model B29 fly it was impressive, but still not as impressive as seeing the real thing fly but still cool.

The big R/C B-29 crashed quite a few years back. It was a very impressive airplane though. This B-52 is fantastic.

The coolest RC display I've ever seen was by two guys who had model F-16's painted like the Thunderbirds. They had little jet turbines in them. The guys would fly around in formation and do all kinds of cool stunts. I was highly impressed.

Soon they will teach mice to fly it, then our troops will come home from Iraq. If you were frighten by our men and women in the armed forces, just wait till your see our mice!

That guy needs a little radio-controled X-15 to hang under the wing.
Then get up to altitude and drop it. Have a friend fly it.

Are those ducted fan engines or actual turbines?

The link to the hobby forum said turbines. And they cost $3000.00 EACH! |

You guys are showing your age. The X15 is long gone and so is the old Hounddog missle system. The Hounddog was the forerunner to today's cruise missle. It had an air breathing ramjet engine for cruising, and a solid propellant rocket motor to get it up to speed for the ramjet to function. Lets see now, 8 jet engines times $3,000 per engine, "holy jet engines Batman," " that's $24,000 just in engines." BTW: I was at Edwards AFB, Lancaster/Palmdale, Kali-fornia for an air show a few years back, and I spoke with a real B52 crew chief(a younger guy in about his mid to late 20s), about all that wiring and cables in the bomb bay, and he said those were for obsolete missile systems such as the Hounddog. When they need to add newer cabling for weapons systems like cruise missles and smart bombs, "they" leave the old wiring & cabling in because in the process of removing the old wires and cables, could be damaged other cabling and wiriing that is still in use. |

They are turbines. Mini jet engines. Nam camo would be cool. |

I believe they are actual turbines. If not, they sure sound like it.

They should build a bunch of them and flying them over in Iraq and scarce the piss out of those insurgents. That would really cause those guys to duck. |

Where do they park that thing when they're done flying? How do they get it to and from the field? That thing sure looks like fun.

That is goddamn awesome.
I worked with a guy in St. Louis that built, from scratch, a model of an OV-10A bronco with a 6ft wingspan, and the pilot was a full sized GI Joe. It was a flying mofo. I couldn't do that kind of thing. When RC cars first came out a roommate of mine paid $500 for one and after he assembled it he let me drive it and I promptly drove it right down a sewer. Luckily, it was only 3 ft deep and the fall didn't hurt the car.I was in a hobby shop getting some orange paint for some of my pistol sights and they have gas engines for planes that are damn near as big as the motor in my Toyota. |
