Very cool.

At least two of my relatives have already sent me that video. Nothing like BIG to impress folks.

Does anyone know why it looks like there are two transmitters in operation? Is it redundancy, or a division of pilot workload?

I wondered the same thing.
It could be a little of both.
The second pilot wasn't even looking at the plane in one shot but he could be operating landing gear, flaps etc.
And still have operation of primary flight controls on a different frequency just in case.

Thats what I think too. Maybe one actually flys the airplane, and the other operates the "accessory's".

That B29 flew at Wings and Wheels a few years back, the guys are from Belgeim I think. I though Ali of Als hobbies Globemaster was now the biggest model in the world...maybe its the biggest jet model?

True, though I wasn't as big as I though it would be when I actually saw it fly. But yes it was a beast to behold :D

That's awesome. Again, not electric related, but if you like this you should check out Mac Hodges flying his 20' span Bomber. Not quite as big, but he does inverted about 5' off the deck with it. Truly the most unbelievable thing i've ever seen.

I was at this show in 87,i thought rc planes were cool and i really wanted to get a ducted fan jet after seeing the demos by bob violet,byron originals,and the kissime cloud dancers at this event. Here i am over 20 years later and i finally started flying rc and have been flying rc for 3 years now but i'll never forget the striking back show in 87.
