That’s super cool. Can you imagine how nervous you would be taking that out for the first time after spending 10 years building it.

Hell I've had my Mavic Pro for a year now, and admittedly, don't fly it as much as I want, and it still makes me damn nervous.

It doesn't weigh enough to do much damage if something goes wrong, but it's price pales to that monster!!

That was pretty amazing.

Here's a better video than the one in the article. Very impressive indeed.

That was cool - thanks for sharing that.

That was cool.

Got to see a Blackbird up close once. Can't imagine the true potential of such a thing.

we have one here in Tucson - you can get up close and touch the thing, poke around in the wheel wells...its an amazing aircraft

thanks for the second video

Just read the whole build blog. That is amazing.

Way cool. Looks cool, sounds cool. Must have taken countless hours to build.

Wow!

I've seen a couple of them. There's one in the USAF museum at Dayton, Ohio and another at Randolph AFB, Texas. Both are accessible.

Nice Skyraider at the end as well.

Awesome

Too cool, the chute at the end was a nice tough.

Absolutely amazing.

That is totaly awesome !!!

I’ve seen the one in Dayton, Ohio at the National Museum of the USAF. Awesome piece of machinery is an understatement. Everyone should add that museum to their bucket list.

I read an article about this in a model aviation magazine right after he finished it. The engines cost $5,000 each.

Very cool.
