Some people have a lot of spare time. . . and money !!!!!

Actually has 8 "real turbines" at about $1500 each!Took over 2 years to build.
It has a wing span of about 22 feet. Takes multiple pilots, as there are so many things to control. Think they were nervous during the maiden flight?
Unbelievable that someone would make this - all real turbines!

Check out the movie link below to see the first flight.

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
My dad used to have an R/C hobby shop in the back of the piano store as a sideline, and he built planes. I cannot believe someone built that and agonized over it crashing. What a shame.

But what a cool plane! YOu could bomb your neighbors remotely.

Just my thought, Mik. I wonder if it is nuclear-capable? If you can put one in an artillery shell, it might just fit in a plane with a 22 foot wing-span.

I saw an RC B-17 once and thought that it was pushing the limits because it was very hard to sync the engines. That B-52 takes it to a whole 'nother level.
