It still doesn't beat the HUGE £30000 B-52 model build by Gordon Nichols. The first one crashed but evidently he's rebuilding it! :D Wingspan: 23 feet (7 meters) Length: 23 feet (7 meters) It uses 8 Wren MW54 jet turbine engines which gives a total thrust of 96 lbs. It holds 22 litres of Jet A1 and it's gross mass (wet) is 330lbs (inside the CAA 150kg limit) First Test taxi - VIDEO1(3.4MB) http://www.mcgirt.net/RC/VIDEOS/Giant_B52/B52_Flight_1.wmv First Video of Takeoff - VIDEO2 (2.1MB) http://www.mcgirt.net/RC/VIDEOS/Giant_B52/B52_Takeoff.wmv Long video of flying - VIDEO3 (29.2MB) http://www.mcgirt.net/RC/VIDEOS/Giant_B52/B52_flight2.wmv Video of the Crash - VIDEO4 (4.6MB) http://www.mcgirt.net/RC/VIDEOS/Giant_B52/b52crash.mpeg Paul _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
