Way cool - but what happens if that puppy crashes?
I think “ napalm” describes what would result.
Talk about something to strive for.
The jets on that baby are just TOO cool. The guy has a reason to be proud.

Astounding!
Knew a guy that built a DC-9-10 that was nearly this large several years ago. It was painted in the Playboy Airlines colors, (Which was actually Purdue Airlines. Yes, they use to own the Playboy jet.)
It was “Ducted fan”, I think, and not a true jet. Used to take it around to the Airshow and Fly-in circuit until he crashed it one too many times, and it burned.
Styrofoam with a plastic shell.
...I don’t think that one I posted from eBay is jet-powered. Not for $300.
That’s cool whether you are an airplane geek or not.
Or, maybe I’m an airplane geek?
Flying out to Dallas in a few weeks. Plan on spending some time at DFW observation area.
Expect to see the real thing , and a Dreamliner.
I’m not even an airplane geek and it’s still cool.
There was a similar scale B-52 a while back that could drop scale bombs.
And a B-29 that could drop a radio-controlled X-1.
And don’t forget those flying RC lawnmowers ...
Those engines seem to be quite powerful.
I think this 747 is nearly as big.

It doesn’t appear to have retractible landing gear though.
