I know this is slightly off topic, but the cat that built these has a ton of talent. Can you imagine if he built a Hot Rod?? The video is a bit long, but stick with it at LEAST long enough to watch the X1 jet launch off the 4 motor miniature B29!!! There a a bunch of cool features to this plane. I wish I had that kinda time. Crazy stuff....... http://users.skynet.be/fa926657/files/B29.wmv
I'd like to see it but, I'm not cool with having to download some "giant" file just to see this, is there a You-tube version out there???
It's a windows media player file, it didn't download, just started playing for me. Wasn't any hairy download time.
Took awhile to download, for me, that mini B29 sounds great, makes me want to get back into this stuff.
The launch plane is not a B-52 but a B-29. Not to be critical but my father was an aircraft Commander on B-117's, B-29's, B-47's , AND B-52's during a 34 year career in the Army Air Corps and the U.S. Air Force. Frank
Dad used to take me to see the model airplanes at a club meeting, (when I was too young to drive) 'cause I was into R/C cars, so I have a real appreciation for these things. Never had a plane though. The level of detail is amazing. (A working ejector seat?!?!?) Un-frickin-believeable. That thing was HUGE too...sounded like chainsaw engines...he lost it at one point...recovered...the landing rivaled my last Northwest flight...that is some talent there boy. Awesome. Thanks for posting!
