Scaled down flying F-14

Well, a freind of mine just sent me this link over MSN and I thought it was pretty amazing, though, I was curious as to how he would land the plane, and, contrary to my inner-voice, it never crashed.

Check it out.

(bobbing my head) love the song. pretty cool model. are these the same guys who made a B-52 model to fly? still pretty cool.

scaled jet engions have been available for years. in fact there are many rc jet aircraft arround. they are cool but i wouldn't want to crash one as they are rather expensive. definately not for a novice, (for them there are some pretty indestructable aircraft available). amuseingly i first saw this paticular film on the site linked through ats a few months ago.

I'm not sure, Deltaboy. I was just forwarded the link. It looks amazing. Quite some time and money was allocated towards this project.

I think these RC jet planes go pretty fast, don't quote me on this but I think upwards near 200-300mph.

Really cool toy. I didn't have the audio on so I'm not sure if this was answered in the video piece... but does anyone know about how much these things cost?

Also... DeltaBoy mentioned that someone made a B-52. Does anyone have a link to that one? Thanks in advance!

Theres alread a post on it in BTS somewhere
f****** amazing though!

The airshow we had last year had quite a few RC planes there. I got some great pics of them. They had a few beautiful jets there too. It was fun watching them zip around. Here's the pics of a few of them that were there.

I thought it was pretty cool that they put the Raptor in Hawaii Air National Guard colors.

i need to buy me one

I'd love to buy one, but I'd keep it airborne for about three seconds before it would do a full power nosedive straight into the ground and about a million pieces. That's just the way my luck works. lol

I posted this a couple days ago & a mod moved it I dont know where. Anyways that would be bad ass to fly over area 51. Dontcha think. Gotta keep finger prints & other evidence clean from it if & when it gets shot down. Unless your a really good pilot & can avoid that.
