R/C freaks!..check this SR71 out!

This is one absolutely amazing Remote Controlled Model Airplane. Not only did they build its jet engines, but included a retractable landing gear, and built it into a fully scaled model of the SR-71 'Blackbird' that flies just like the real McCoy.

This SR-71 model was built by a Retired Engineer/RC enthusiast in Germany, and
is certainly one awesome toy.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

:iagree: Kept waiting for the sonic boom though ;)


All he needs is a buddy to build a heat seeking Estes Big Bertha and then they could have some real fun...

I built and have flown some RC planes in the past. When you are spending a bunch of money on one and you have hours and hours invested into it, the first flight is a scary experience. I flew a deducted fan F-16 and that was a handful to fly. It would fly so fast that you would constantly be manuevering it just to keep it in sight. That thing had to be landed pretty hot too. I'm surprised how well that blackbird handled. Especially upon landing.
