I remember several controline B-36's in the late 50's - 60's with 6 glow
plug engines and 4 Jetex rocket motors in the pods. Jack G. "Raoul" wrote in message ... In article , Scott Ferrin wrote: On Fri, 10 Sep 2004 12:45:11 GMT, (John S. Shinal) wrote: "John A.

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. About twenty years ago (honest) there was a 747/Shuttle combo being flown. Had about a twelve foot wingspan. I'm waiting for someone to do an XB-70 powered by six turbines. When I was a kid, I saw a DC-6 control line model with 4 piston engines. It was painted in Northwest Orient colors of the late 50's. It was very, very impressive. I have no idea where it is now because the hobby shop it was hanging in closed long ago. Sure would have liked to see it fly... raoul

There is a group here that has a 1:10 scale Globemaster III some pictures http://www.angelfire.com/wa3/ipmspea...0Big%20Bird.ht m -- Right, you lot start coding, I'll go and see what they want.

I was wondering if the X-1 behind the fella standing there was a functional R/C model as well. Well, it does fly--there are also photos of the X-1 model in flight after being dropped by the B-29. 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 Wow. Nice pics. I really like this one: http://www.renderwurx.com/rc/h37/gfx...ogs02/twin.jpg Is that a Grumman Tigercat?
