Any RC-ers on the list: ck this out:
Actually has 8 real turbines at about $1500 each!
Took over 2 years to build. It has a wing span of about 22 feet.
Requires multiple pilots controlling individual remotes, as there are
so many
things to control.
Think they were nervous during the maiden flight?
Unbelievable that someone would make this - all real turbines!
$12,000 just
for the engines !
Check out the movie link below to see the first 7 minute flight and the
landing. AMAZING !!

Hi Bob/All,
That B-52 was later wrecked in what may have been a (believe it or
not!) downwind-turn incident preceding an airshow. Quite a fire ensued.
Tragic to lose such a nice example.
For Mr. Fackler: When is the next 'Thumb' tour? (There,
Kolb-related).
