Anybody see this giant scale B-52?

Actually has 8 "real turbines" at about $1500 each!It has a wing span of about 22 feet, and weighs 330 lb fully fueled.
Takes multiple pilots, as there are so many things to control.
Check out the movie link below to see the first flight. The movie is 23 megs, but it is well worth the wait.
