... and the R/C B-52 went down.

Seems like oly a couple of wing servos and a pair of engines were
recoverable. A sad end for an impressive R/C model. :-(

Yeah, but it was glorious while it was flying. It even sounded
like a buff on take-off. Any idea what happened? It sure hit
going fast--it is amazing that anything is left.

Yikes!

It is a shame. But lets be honest, it really was just a matter of time.

Yea, but what happened to the doll house sized nukes?
Did they send in GI joe for broken arrow recovery?

No doubt. Best I've ever seen, but I haven't seen it all. I
can't imagine how you top that one. Maybe a matching KC-10.

Any idea what happened ?

His return leg on the orbit was pretty hot, and the RC forum
was discussing the wind speed. No aileron on the low wing, with a very
steep bank, and not enough authority from the high wing's spoiler. It
was digging into a steeply banked downwindturn, and it looks like it
stalled and tucked the nose lower. Not enough height to pull it out.

I have seen on the web pictures of a one-fifth scale RC B-29 that were
pretty impressive. I think the following one is a bit smaller than that, but
still neat!

It's always nice when an R/C flying field can accomodate those
12" scale Phantom models...

I was wondering if the X-1 behind the fella standing there was a functional R/C
model as well.

Well, it does fly--there are also photos of the X-1 model in flight after
being dropped by the B-29. As to whether or not it is controllable, or just
flies a set spiral back down, I don't know. I think if you snip off the last
part of that address I agve, it will take you to a page with various
thumbnails including one of the two models in flight.

Fully controllable, including the functional rocket engine (pretty
impressive acceleration, btw).

There are a couple of imressive videos of this pair of R/C aircraft
around - the B-29 performs a full aerobatic display including inverted
loops.
