OZCUBAN Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 HARD TO BELIEVE THIS IS JUST A MODEL Remember; when at the flying meet, the guy with the peaked cap on is then in charge; stay back. You'll notice when he's through, he immediately takes the hat off, meaning...your turn ! This is one absolutely amazing remote controlled [RC] model airplane. Not only did they build its jet engines, but included a retractable landing gear, and built it into a fully scaled model of the SR-71 "Blackbird" that flies just like the real McCoy. This SR-71 model was built by an Engineer / RC enthusiast in Germany , and is certainly one awesome toy. Watch and listen to it soar. And the landing is Amazing, too. Click Here
Fuzz AI Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I can just imagine this guy building his own Predator drone... Dude: "Egg and TP my house on Halloween, eh? Time to fire up the Beast..." . .. ... 2 blocks away.... *BOOM*
mattdivo Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I'm sure it takes a lot of skill and experience to operate that plane. Any idea on the cost?
benjaminbbush Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 did you notice at the beginning of the video when they were fueling the plane that the looker on was smoking a cigarette but the lady had a fire extinguisher. That guys could have won a Darwin Award if he ignited the plane.
Scdalak Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Very Cool, but is that guy seriously wearing Denim Capri Pants with white ankle socks and sneakers???
Colt45 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 The Aussie Cigar Freedom Fighters could use a couple of these - for dropping leaflets on parliament and whatnot......
kmagurk Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 did you notice at the beginning of the video when they were fueling the plane that the looker on was smoking a cigarette but the lady had a fire extinguisher. That guys could have won a Darwin Award if he ignited the plane. haha !
JSPEC Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 That is awesome! I want one but prolly would crash it on the landing lol
dan5974 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 That is just too cool.I wonder how much time and money went into the fabrication of this thing.Probaly too much of each.
n2advnture Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 I would think it was much cooler if the guy controlling it wasn't wearing capri pants
