Damn.

You know you're into the edges when your "scale model" plane is
heavier
than some legal *piloted* flying machines.

(Some guy built a C-130 on about the same scale, which would do
LAPES or
paradrops...)

Very nice. My only question is... will it drop anything?

If you tell me their next project is a scale MOAB, I'm going to be
scared.

MOAB's too big for a BUFF's bomb bay, isn't it?

I suspect so, however, one can be slung under the wing pylon.

Could anyone see the videos? It looks like they were removed from the
server.

Go out to the engine manufacturers website, as they also have the videos:
www.wren-turbines.com. They are in the Latest News section.

They were slashdotted yesterday. Have a look at
http://freecache.org/http://www.wren.../B52_Test1.wmv
http://freecache.org/http://www.wren.../B52%20008.wmv

In other Slashdot news, today they managed to slashdot Kyler Laird's web
site.

At Wri-Pat they have a BUFF and a mockup MOAB on display.

1. I'm not sure about W&B, but the bomb bays of the BUFF will easily
fit 4 MOAB's. Remember, BUFF was designed in the early 50's to
accommodate the early H-bombs. And they were HUGH.

2. MOAB is designed for pallet extraction. Cannot be hung on
bomb racks.

I'm familiar with BUFF, MOAB, and W&B, but what is HUGH?

What I could quickly find calls the MOAB 30 feet long

and the BUFF bomb bay 28 feet long

Unix is great. The Unix culture is magnificent. Life in a Unix without
the GNU utilities is the kind of hell I'd not wish on my worst enemy.

I doubt they have a MOAB, as the only one on display was just put up at
Eglin Armament Museum last week. They might have a BLU-82.
