I realize this isn’t a true Zenith listing – but you gotta check this out just the same.
[b]THIS HAS TO BE THE ULTIMATE BIG BOYS TOY!!!!!! (FOR MILLIONAIRES ONLY ?) [/b]
This is a really neat model airplane -- truly amazing! Make sure you click on the movie link at the bottom of the page to watch the movie of it in flight.
Actually has 8 "real turbines" at about $1500 each! Took over 2 years to
build. It has a wing span of about 22 feet. Takes multiple pilots , 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 flight. AMAZING !! (9:02 min)

Yea, but they crashed that bad boy a few months later. Made a big smoke ball in the sky! Lots of money gone down the drain. Could have bought a Jabiru FWF for what they crashed!

Too bad they crashed it shortly after the first flight.

Bill-
I've seen some pretty fantastic models in my time, but how about the guy that built a full scale P-51A from scratch? Pretty amazing, even if he had to sub out some of the work. Past amazing- mind boggling. The hydraulics alone are probably more complex than a Zenith!
