Slightly big file (30 Mb), but I had fun watching it. Would surely
have much more if I had one of those. :)

Cheers,

Pity the gear didn't retract.
There are other clips.

Very cool and didn't take long to download via broadband but
you would have a lot more fun if you REALLY flew. Anything. But
then again, I never did quite understand the RC pilot mentality
afraid to pry themselves off the ground. For less than the price of
that model airplane they could be doing this instead:

Yeah, but it had pretty good performance with all the gear stuck down. I was
truely amazed the first time I saw that video. Mini jet engines? Wow! Anyone
got a guess on how much that thing cost?

It's gotta be every bit of $100K.

Even the 'small' scale jet fighter models with one or two engines can run
upwards of $35K. This thing is huge and has 8 engines.

Engines run around $3K-5K deach epending on your currency. Then you add all
the gear to control it and a fuselage. Huge money for an 8 engine aircraft.

Hey, Kewl! With a cable connection it took me 1 second to download. Saved
it. I flew the B-52H when it was brand new. (Minot AFB, ND). Looks like
they lost the right outrigger during the fly byes. It was still on right
after takeoff and was missing on the final approach for landing.
