Here is some info on it. Also you need to get ahold of Colin Straus from the UK, he is the owner of the plane. Some plane info: This 1/9th scale radio-controlled C-17 Wingspan is 20 feet 8 inches, and the top of the fin is 74 inches (6 feet 2 inches) above the ground Built with the aid of three friends, it took one year to build Powered with 4 Jetcat P-120 turbines with a total thrust of 108 lbs. The plane weighs over 250 lbs fuelled, and carries 12.5 liters (3.3 US gallons) of 95% kerosene and 5% turbine oil fuel. Radio gear is 5 Futaba PCM receivers, 16 battery packs (93 cells), 20 Futaba servos. On board air compressor, with electro/pneumatic retracts The rear cargo doors open and they drop an r/c jeep on a pallet, as well as 2 free-fall r/c parachutists there is more info on the plane I just wanted to cover the basics. The building crew the owner is at the nose of the plane  Here is a video of it flying http://s35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...ent=b52rob.flv |
