Jim A N444BD Ever build a model airplane? Then you will love this. This is a labor of love! Actually has 8 "real turbines" at about $1500 each! It took over 2 years to build. Takes multiple pilots as there are so many things to control. Think they are nervous during the maiden flight? Unbelievable that someone would make this - all real turbines! Don't overlook the video below. Total time, take off to landing 9:06 minutes. http://www.mcgirt.net/RC/VIDEOS/Giant_B52/B52_flight2.wmv ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 09:24:33 PM PST US From: "Tom Fisher" Subject: Re: Commander-List: --> Commander-List message posted by: "Tom Fisher" While waiting for the real thing I built a 680FL out of balsawood using electric motors, the real thing came along before I finished it.

At the very least, a little fuel truck should have driven up to it... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Addington" Subject: Commander-List: > --> Commander-List message posted by: "Jim Addington" > > Thought some of you might enjoy this. > Jim A > N444BD > > > Ever build a model airplane?
