B-29 and X-1 RC
« on: May 09, 2007, 06:45:48 PM »
Have you seen this radio controlled B-29 launch its X-1?  Models just keep get amazinger and amazinger.

The B-29 reportedly is powered by four chainsaw engines.

Saw it before.

What did you think of the spin?

Chainsaw, weed-eater, etc motors have been used for many several years now.

Very cool.  However the cameraman should have done us all a favor and invested in a tripod.
