... and the R/C B-52 went down.

Seems like oly a couple of wing servos and a pair of engines were recoverable. A sad end for an impressive R/C model. :-(

It sure hit going fast--it is amazing that anything is left. -john- -- ================================================== ================== John A.

His return leg on the orbit was pretty hot, and the RC forum was discussing the wind speed. No aileron on the low wing, with a very steep bank, and not enough authority from the high wing's spoiler. It was digging into a steeply banked downwindturn, and it looks like it stalled and tucked the nose lower. Not enough height to pull it out.

I can't imagine how you top that one. Maybe a matching KC-10. I have seen on the web pictures of a one-fifth scale RC B-29 that were pretty impressive. I think the following one is a bit smaller than that, but still neat! http://www.renderwurx.com/rc/h37/gfx...ogs02/b29a.jpg Brooks Any idea what happened ?

As to whether or not it is controllable, or just flies a set spiral back down, I don't know. I think if you snip off the last part of that address I agve, it will take you to a page with various thumbnails including one of the two models in flight. Brooks

Fully controllable, including the functional rocket engine (pretty impressive acceleration, btw). There are a couple of imressive videos of this pair of R/C aircraft around - the B-29 performs a full aerobatic display including inverted loops. Bye Andreas
