Default Re: Real Cool Flying B52

That's what I was talking about. I thought there was a posting with a link to the crash. Can't find it now.

I thought it looked and sounded like eight turbines. People that build scale airplanes and engravers have a lot more in common than it would appear at first glance. The attention to detail is truly amazing often at a microscopic level. One small screw up in design can ruin something of significant value in a heart-beat if not caught in a timely manner. It can take months and months to do something that someone else will look at for thirty seconds and say, "That's pretty cool. Bet I could do that."

Sound familiar?

I bet the team that built that plane was already planning their next version before even leaving the flying field. That's just the way guys that do that kind of thing are. Guess you kind of have to be, or you wouldn't do it.

Thanks for the info, Kurt.
