RC model aircraft (B-29)...

[coldbear]

Whaaat???

frnash....you'er sic. I too enjoyed the pains of the Futaba RC control box but flew a RC Hellicopter. I have great respect for all of the pilots in the above videos. It aint as easy as it looks. Several crashes and hundreds of bucks for repairs will humble one to find another passion.

Speaking of B-29s: Last Plane out of Boeing Plant #2

1944? No, September 18, 2010, the End of an Era. (Including the "last of the last" B-29.)

Neat Shiet !

I too dabble in RC planes to the tune of about 25 airplanes.

I mostly fly 3D as seen in the vid below.

Wow! That one really hauls it!
Q: How do you maintain control when they can't even keep it in the frame in the video? Surely the pilot can't maintain visual contact with the plane either, particularly in "IFR" conditions (in the clouds). You would really need "Predator" style flight instruments on that R/C box to stay on top of it.
