Anybody see this giant scale B-52?
http://www.mcgirt.net/RC/VIDEOS/Giant_B52
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.

Unfortunately, it crashed

Better video of the crash...(there may be a bandwidth limit on this site, as I have had problems getting back to it)

Now, using this as a super-scale launcher for an X-1 or X-43...hmmmm!
