This has to be the biggest RC prop plane flying!

LiveLeak.com - Worlds largest RC aircraft
 
Just saw the R/C B-29. Man, what an airplane ! Good job of flying it,
too.

man that is cool, I wish I owned that!
 
Neat. What a monster!

Certainly is! Amazing model.
 
I wonder what kind of engines they used? Landing gear retract mechanism? How much fuel they had onboard? "All Up" weight? Nose wheel steering mechanism?
 
...where they found their compassionate wives.
 
WOW. Thanks syscom.

I wonder how much $$$ is in that thing. I started to get into the RC world until I talked to a guy who said, "If you can't afford the planes crashing, don't do it because eventually they all crash!!!" And this guy was flying planes where he invested an average of $4000 per plane.

Just guessing but those engines probably cost $1500-$2500 each. I have priced engines MUCH smaller than those that are $600-$1000.
 
Its definately a big one and flown excelently.As they say if you are gonna have one have a biggun.
 
Methinks, it looks a lot like a "joint venture" There were more than one radio transmitter which makes me think that it took at least a crew of two just to fly it. What country was that ?
 
Now that's one model aircraft I'd love to own :)
