Now here's a model airplane! (B-52)

sent via email from Jim Rose...

Actually has 8 "real turbines" at about $1500 each!

Took over 2 years to build. It has a wing span of about 22 feet.

Takes multiple pilots, as there are so many things to control.

Think they are nervous during the maiden flight?

Unbelievable that someone would make this - all real turbines! Check out the movie link below to see the first flight.

Could be a UAV contender?
