Ultimate stocking stuffer??

Home-made B-29 bomber with Bell X-1 Rocket Plane........

This aircraft runs on four Chainsaw motors. You can just imagine how much time, effort, skill and money these guys have put into this thing.

One hell of a pilot!
Tks!

The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys!
Launches another rocket powered glider . . . ejects it's own parachuting pilots . . . very low altitude inverted flight . . . . I was wondering what ELSE was going to happen.

Even the battery powered starter looked high tech. I bet he spent the $$$ for Sthil or Husqvarna chainsaws.

I used to fly RC planes (props only) for years. It was a lot of fun and expensive. Recently, I went to a RC air show and someone had a A10-A, with two ducted-fans motors. I can tell you that after working on the full scale A10-A for five years, the RC A10-A had every detail as the original.

Thanks for sharing.

A10 Warthog. My all time favorite plane. That would be fun to see the RC version in action.

and I remember the excitement of homemade "bombs" (homemade black powder in a tightly wrapped 35mm cannister) and "Jet-X" engines

but this is at another level
