ok - close!!!??? - lol

That answers the transportation question. No doubt about it, Fat Albert is my favorite of those pictured. I wonder if it has the Jatos

C-17 Globemaster

A couple of years ago there was a website showing the progress of the build. They had the entire plane framed up without any sheeting, There is a small forest of wood in that plane.

I always wonder the same thing. There's nothing big and/or really exciting going on in the U.S.A.

There's so much more space around here compared to Europe, the AMA will give you a waiver, so what's the problem ? There should be enough rich guys around U.S. to pay for it too.

P.

i would love to build something that big! I better go sell my kidney or something....

another big one - this one unfortunatly crashed on second day flight - the engines on a test bed before instalation - wren turbines - all was lost in the accident - lots of guys saw the vid - they are building a new one!!

the C17 was build in co op with a TV show for Descovery Home and Leasiure in the UK and was a monster, scale drop doors at the back, scale payload to be droped the works was a true work of art

The program was pure cheese but the build was impressive

I belive the C17 is now owend by Ali of Als Hobbies in the UK and is being preped for next years show curcit

I love that TWA Connie. Those are beautiful planes.

the last picture is a plane from belgium! It's in the guiness book of world records!

o.k. so the question is.. which one of you or two or three want to build one of these. for the fun of it?? maby it could be sold to the movie dudes?? and flown and crashed on a movie>>>lol. could you imagin crashing that thing and being on the sticks?? a once in a lifetime thing

Ok--here are a few of a B-36. Built here in the states in 1953. Has 6 piston engines and 4 pulse jets. Has never flown because it weighs around 300 pounds (guessing). Sorry, the pictures aren't that great--they were taken about 8 years ago with a very "new at the time" digital camera. The model is currently in our hangar and is for sale if anyone knows any scale guys that are interested in restoring a static only model. It is quite a breathtaking airplane!!!
