Found this pic along with the 2 videos to follow


Video 1: B-52 RC 8-Engine Jet Model successfull take off and perfect landing

Video 2: B-52 RC 8-Engine Jet Model succesfull take off and premature tragic landing

Video 2 i found more interesting because of the shock factor
Probably well over €100,000 worth of a plane there

that really made me laugh. Did not see that coming. Good thing the ending was not hard to tell from that of a real sized one.

There are a few more clips of the B-52 around. Any more info on the aircraft in the main pic'? It looks a bit like a Galaxy, but I'm not that up on aircraft.
A similar scale model of the Antonov 225 would be massive!

They should let it drop paintball bombs or similar :-)

Nice plane, i wonder if all 8 engine are really working or if it is just 2 or 4.

All eight [thumbup]

I been a lurker at a local rc plane club in the past, didn't own or build my own planes but I was allowed to fly sometimes ( dual controller offcourse ). The funniest thing I've seen was a triangle shaped wooden board, with nothing but two aelerons and a jet engine. Engine was only 7cm or so, the thing obviously wasn't that fast, but it could do things in mid air I never thought possible ( think a wooden board sailing through the air, changing direction almost instantly ).

It's a Boeing C-17A Globemaster III transport aircraft.

All 8 are required

From the way the plane went down i would guess the port engines failed

It requires at least 2 qualified people to pilot just one of these. a lot can go wrong

could have been anything.

didnt look to stable at take off either

he should have also opted for the retractable wheel option when making that model

nice plume of smoke though almost realistic

I guess those 8 engines weren't enough to keep the wind from having it's way.
