$12k in engines alone, wow. I like my planes to at least have one gun or bomb or missile though. |

wow... that is a huge piece of kit. My friend is building a E-3A AWACS just a little small then this, but he is having a hard time finding the courage to fly it..
nice job... |

The link seems to be case sensitive for me, I had to use http://www.mcgirt.net/RC/VIDEOS/Giant_B52/ |

I just watched the videos. This is one awesome bird. Video 4 is why I do not fly anymore. |

This is a big WOW! You have to admire the skill and determination it takes to finish something like this, but I'm still having trouble with buying a car that cost more than I originally paid for my house, let alone building a model that cost that much. I seriously think that there are some real airplanes that would be easier to build. |
John M Oshust | 21-Dec-07 18:23 |
I concur. If I remember correctly, it takes 4 people to fly this bird! |

Yes, this is the English one that crashed (after many good flights I think). The really sad this is - look at the similarity to this horrendous video. Here's the full story. |
