I'm new to these forums, so i hope I posted this in the appropriate section, and I searched for similar threads and couldn't find any...

Anyway, I don't currently have an RC plane (though I just got my real Private Pilot's License), and I started looking into this as a hobby today. Needless to say, it looks awesome!

I've been like watching videos on youtube all day, lol, and I came across this:

This thing is massive! It looks to be a model of a B-29 Superfortress, though I am not entirely sure.

Of course, it must be pretty expensive and it is but a dream for me (for now).

Enjoy!

Yep it is indeed a B-29 and that vid's been around a while. But check out Mac Hodges' `slightly` smaller rendition with the X-1 rocket plane drop. He's been putting on this show for several years. This here is only one of several vids of 'em on YouTube.

Not just quite so.
This is dedicated to large electrics, which the "thing" is not ;)
Giant Scale Planes under the Fuel forum may be more appropriate: http://www.rcgroups.com/giant-scale-airplanes-33/
May be a @Mod may be so kind to move the thread ...
