Amazing Model Airplane
 
What aerospace engineers do after they retire????


Homemade B-29 bomber.


This aircraft runs on four Chainsaw motors.

You can just imagine how much time, effort, skill and money these guys
have put into this thing.

I LOVE it! :D

I like how with the engines at full song, it even sounded like a little B-29.

I'm not so sure about the B-29's inverted flight capabilities though.

I have seen that video somewhere before. Great vid, especially for anyone who has put any kinda of wooden rc plane together and understand that shit ton amount of work and money that guy must has put into that thing. I always enjoyed RC stuff, never had enough money as a kid to do it though.

went to a model airplane reenactment when I was younger outside of the Oshkosh airplane show - its quite impressive if you've never seen how lifelike and agile these little planes are.

RE: the helicopter deal - some people were really into those here at work... I thought it was cool until someone took his uber expensive copter out and crashed it into the side of the building at work - destroying the RC and denting his wallet. High-dollar hobby.

Someone has way too much money and free time.

Yeah, thats why I don't fly expensive copters anymore. Too expensive and breaks too much. I just fly a small coaxial indoor electric now. Got it for under 100. It's not 3d, but it's fun to fly inside and pretty cheap to replace parts.

I want to see it crash.
