Did a search and didn't find this has having been already posted, but no doubt I'm in for a dupe anyways.
Regardless... check this out!!! When I win the lotto I'm gonna have this guy build me one! http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=SDbQ5xvsrIU ETA: Would be cool to go up in a C152/172 or something and have this guy in the right seat flying this thing as formation wingman over a city. People would be like...

This is the ongoing saga of The Sled. This is the most awesome RC SR-71 going. Make sure and read all the updates, the detail this guy has put into his planes is unbelievable. |

Can't even fathom the time and dedication it takes to build one of these. My dad and I had a 1/4 scale P51 Mustang when I was a teenager. Haven't done squat with R/C or model rockets in 25 years. Too many hobbies, not enough time and money. Someday... |

1: what's with the man capris?
2: I bet that thing has the radar cross section of a gnat!
Someone ought to build an R/C Firefox... I wondered that too. But it's Germany... so who knows. How 'bout an XB-70! Or maybe a 1/2 scale X-15 powered by a real rocket engine. |

It's a very cool model no doubt, but it looks pretty boring to fly considering it shares the exact same aerodynamic characteristics of the real plane and the real plane was made for flying fast and high in straight lines.
There are some REALLY badass SU25 and F16 turbine planes out there that are extremely fast and maneuverable. |

Looked hard to fly. Notice the bobble on landing? Damn close to losing it. Still waiting for these guys to go fly by wire. I saw a show where some scientists made a 6ft. RC Pterosaur model. It was so wobbly they couldn't control it. After they converted it to fly by wire, it flew like a dream. It looked real. |

Very cool. Check out the r/c C-17 Globemaster. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUyR0eezwns ![]() |

If this was a Russian model, it would be perfect...
Hahaha, you can even see the pilot ejecting at 0:16 |
