|  Awesome RC aircraft
Posted this in chit chat due to it not being crawler related...feel free to move it. Here are the stats according to the e-mail i got with the link to the video at bottom. 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. Unbelievable that someone would make this - all real turbines! $12,000 just for the engines ! Check out the movie link below to see the first flight. AMAZING !! http://www.mcgirt.net/RC/VIDEOS/Gian...52_flight2.wmv |
