Got this link in an email from WB4AEG, RC model plane to the extreme!

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-687915882917744106

WOW! That link came out a lot longer than it was in the email!

Amended with a new link that works!

I think most of the F15s are still grounded after one fell apart in the air.

Why bother with a dinky F-15 when you can fly the BUFF?

Video:

Looks, flies, and sounds like the real thing. Right down to the way it crabs off the runway on takeoff.


Same plane sometime later:

Slightly different angle, but with better impact continuity:

Which looks remarkably like this one:

Here's a B-29 with X-1. Impressive, until the engines are started. Sounds like a swarm of angry weed whackers. Too bad they don't make big radials in this size. Keep an eye on mini-me Chuck Yeager.

Here's another:

Looks more convincing in flight, despite the single props.

Hey, these guys take their model aircraft at least as seriously as we do our radio gear. IIRC, the B-52 owner had $40-$50K involved.
