That guy is an amazing RC pilot. I bet you could get a used C-152 for what that thing might cost?

That bird is priceless. It must have took years to build that B-29 with those functions.... then to build the X-1 so that it can be dropped from the B-29 too? I seen a video of a R/C B-52 crash.... this aircraft was amazing; eight jet engines and a little bigger than that B-29. It flew for about two years at shows before it crashed. People couldn't tell whether it was real or fake while it was in the sky.

Off topic, I would like to build a R/C version of the Global Hawk...... 😎

I will be honest with you guys. I am a RC Plane pilot and you don't fly vintage planes like that. they should be flown gracefully.... There are planes for 3d flying...

Have a look at this one and tell me what you think. They don't get bigger than this....

Here are some really cool ones...
