Smoke me a Kipper I'll be back for breakfast - Ace Rimmer

OK that was pretty large, although I'm not sure it is THE largest around.

I was pretty taken with this one though, it's so realistic having seen Victors at aishows when I was a kid:

This one is INSANE  :o

Even an on-board camera, I dread to think how much this cost to build!!!!!!!!

 :o wiping the drool off my chin :P
unfortunately  that is a little out of my price range :(
I think it lost a part around 2:28 in the video. I hope it was nothing important.

From reading the comments, I believe it was a landing gear door, so nothing serious  :D

That's not too bad, but still a pain to fix.

I almost bought one of these fiberglass rah66 fuselage kits a few years back, but 5k for a close to total cost to build it was a little to scary for me if I ever crashed it.



here is a very sad video of one that blew apart due to Ground resonance 


here is his build log with some great details

Thanks Dave,
I think the only thing that can make this project better is if it was autonomous  :D

I found a few more that I really liked:

First, a Mig 29 (cool aircraft, lousy videography)


Then an SR 71


And finally, the USS Enterprise!

I wonder if the Enterprise elicited any UFO sightings  :LOL:
