That is pretty cool. You could really terrorize a neighbourhood with that plane

You also can with a 440..... and for the price of such a plane (4 of those engines cost a fortune) you'd build a nice 440.

These two SOB's were not as lucky. But just as much fun to watch.

Even the smoke from the giant B52 looked real when it crashed

I wonder how much those planes cost to build. Exspecially the B52 with the turbine engines . I didn't even know they made them for model airplanes.

cleaver stuff , i have always wondered if these planes had a emergency parachute  , in case of  mechanical failure , but looking at the two links ( chargerboy69) posted ..i guess not

I saw a tomcat vid with real turbines and the guy spent 25k on it. Im fine with my $200 helicopter which like to crash but it doesnt cost much to fix.

Excellent! Thanks for the clip. I saw the B52 crash - just plain sad. There is also a guy with a Globemaster that is 1/4 scale - just plain (plane) huge. These guys put some serious effort into them. And I'm sure they get just as much, if not more fun out of htose, than a lot would out of a 440.

I have never flown those large scale planes, but that has to be a blast plain and simple

That's my next hobby after I get rich!
