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 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:34:47 AM PST US From: "Ben Baltrusaitis" Subject: Re: Commander-List: B-52 --> Commander-List message posted by: "Ben Baltrusaitis" It didn't have a happy ending. http://www.stukastudios.se/b52.htm Click on "the crash" Ben ----- Original Message ----- From: Randy Dettmer, AIA To: commander-list@matronics.com Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2005 9:17 AM Subject: RE: Commander-List: --> Commander-List message posted by: "Randy Dettmer, AIA" Wow...what a spectacular achievement.
