Ahoy mates!
Just had to share this with my wingy friends...

Scratch built B-29....This aircraft runs on four chainsaw engines.
You can just imagine how much time, effort, skill and money
these guys have put into this build.

The video runs 7 min. and takes a while to load, but it's worth it!

B-29

Cheers,
~Gunny

Mark -

That is incredible! I would have said it was impossible till I watched the video.

The only thing I've ever heard of like this was an article in (I think) RC Modeller a few years ago on a couple guys in England who built an AVRO Lancaster. It was caught in a crosswind and wrecked.

Thanks,
Steve

well, I was going to be a nit-picker and comment on how the X-1s were slung from the bomb bay, not the wing, but after the little thing did a fly by and the rocket went off, I forgave that error.

cool!!!

Amazing video....the guy is a highly skilled operator, especially when the plane was spinning 'out of control', thought it was going to crash. But this shows how much I know about aircraft.
