weewillie, i figured o.k. here we go just another model airplane flying clip, but when they dropped the little orange rocket from under the wing and began flying that as well it just blew me away, best model flying ive ever seen, thanks. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbsup.gif
 
He used to fly it down here at Top Gun every year, not sure if he still does or not. The "little orange rocket" is a model of the Bell X1 (ie: Chuck Yeager).
 
That is remarkable! Tho I don't recall ever hearing of a B-29 doin' an outside loop or Immelman... but it wouldn't shock me to find out some have done rolls. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/jester.gif

Very impressive. My mouth hung open for nearly the whole thing. I can't imagine what it would take to mount that kind of effort.

Thanks, Will.

Kind of like the famous photo of an inverted 707?

that's an impressive "model" airplane. But by that point it's long past a hobby and now an obsession.

Check out the scale model B-52, powered by scale jet engines. Don't look for the video where it crashes, though. Just the shear size of it and the amount of detail it has is (was) impressive.
