Georgeconna Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Just been flying this baby today, Its second flight. All EPO Foam. 6 Channel, 125mm Wing span (just gets into the Car) Twin Brushless EDF,3300MA Battery and it flies and sounds like the real deal along with a Fantastic Performance. Bring on the Next good day!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broithe Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Lovely looking Albatross, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulzer201 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Great looking machine Georgeconna, Isn't that the American aircraft that was nicknamed 'Tankbuster'? I think it was used to deadly effect against ground targets in the first gulf war? Great stuff there she must be a joy to fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshty Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 How about this for a large model. Eight jet engines. €50k worth of model that went up in smoke when it banked too sharply causing sheer and lack of lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather like the Fairchild crash - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_Fairchild_Air_Force_Base_B-52_crash . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The model 52 crashed as the result of a similiar maneuver.....mad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgeconna Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 There Vs on that Fairchild crash: The Pilot was known to be reckless according to the Crash report. Same a the C-17 crash That 50K would be a bit of a downer after all that work..Looks lovely too Seem the how similar they were on the Vid here G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broithe Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 They 'lost' a real A-10 for a while back in the '90s - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_D._Button - never fully explained. The A-10 design team were required to read Hans-Ulrich Rudel's Stuka Pilot autobiography. Well worth a read, it is, too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
