That is bad-ass. I'd be WAY to afraid of crashing it. I can only imagine what it costs.
 
Pretty cool stuff!
 
you guys think that is sick??? this guy Hornitpilot is building an 18 foot long remote control B1 Bomber! here'spart 3 of the 70+ video series. If you have the time to watch them all of the next few days, you can see it being built.

this will show the size


and here's what will power it

 
i looked up the rc model turbines, they all go for over 3,000!
yeah the dude in the vids I posted paid 4500 for each turbine...and he bought 4!!! that doesn't include what the materials are costing to build the plane plus the radio gear...insane!!
 
I use to be into RC aircraft. for a short period of time untill i attempted to fly an electric job. got out of it sortly after that. Those jets are INSANE upwards of 200+ MPH would be very difficult to fly. The jet turbines are exactly the same as a real jet engine just scaled down. and they use a computer to start them. average jet costs around 10K pretty badass these old guys are either enjoying the single life or have one understanding wife.
 
There was a club of guys who did this and they used the road in the park near my house as their runway. I loved watching them but after talking to alot of them i found even the small like 1/25 models cost around 30-40K.... The president of their club had a 1/10 or 1/8 scale B-52 that had a 25 foot wingspan and 6 foot high tail with 8!! of the turbine engines
