SR-71 Blackbird - RC

I guess they must have some kind of on board camera so they can keep track of where it is.

337 mph average. Top speed is 345.23

I have seen this done as a B-52 bomber, but the Blackbird! That holds a special place in my heart as I had a CBR-XX before the Busa. I miss that bike!

I liked the vid of the c-17 too

Wonder if it leaks fuel while out on the tarmac?

Those things are bad ass. I've seen vids of an F-16, F-14, and the Airwolf helecopter, all RC Turbine models. I'm pretty sure they're all on Youtube...

Holy He** that is freaking awesome.

Is he wearing Capri pants?

 

[EarlyBird]

Agreed just AWESOME!

That is likley 14-20K...just the cost of the airframe and two jet turbines is close to that...add in the radio + other goodies and it is a serious hobby. One thing I have read is that the jet engines tear the airframes up before the turbine will fail so there is a bunch of checking to get the plane back in one piece.

It is awsome for sure.

Just to make it authentic?

 

[Busa1166]

What would something like that cost? I want one

If you have to ask it's usually more than one would be willing to spend.... He probably has that one cause they refused to sell him the real one

 

[Paulie1300]

[Paulie1300]

[mikejmd]

My fiance baught me a beginners remote control air plane last christmas. Took it down to the park after putting it together, and was home 5 minutes later with a broken plain. They are sweet, but i'd be pissed if I crashed one of those!
