My uncle was a Chief Master Sargent in U.S. Air Force for 31 years and retired in 1972. During his Air Force career, he flew in the B-29, B-36 and B-52 as a tail gunner out of Fort Worth/Carswell AFB.

EC White Are you in the States ?

machia0705 Yes

Absolutely incredible remote control model. But, I wouldn't want to be the person at the controls and there's a crash!

John Lindsey that only has six engines.

i was thinking the same thing, i built the revell kit years ago.

Indeed.

You lololol

Well it did say "test" in the title...

Engines are numbered 1-6 left to right.

Not really! It ads to the cool! 😎

Ben Gaarder can't be bothered to read the video description, huh?

video description reads, " It is planned to have it flying for the PDARCS scratch built rally on November 11 & 12." Since this was dated 2017, I would also like to know if it flies.

Perfection! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nsVdZJajlbHJoas.html

John Lindsey not the same model.

That's funny, I thought the same thing.

The ones that caught fire all the time.

@@rogersmith7396 It could drop nearly the full weight of two armed and loaded, fully fueled complete B-17s out of its bomb bay. It could fly a mile higher than an ME-109. It was designed to fly from Canada to Berlin and back on a bombing run. (In case the Battle of Britain went badly.) And Dad saw it on the drawing board at Consolidated Aircraft in 1941, before the U.S. entered the war, when it was still a secret project. But yeah, it had some technical issues. 🙂 For example, it originally had huge tires for wheels before they invented the multi-wheel trucks for the landing gear. And the jets were to get it rolling fast enough on the ground to take off in a decent distance and climb in a decent amount of time. They were shut down in flight. And adding them had to wait until jets were, like, invented, during the war.

@@ThatBoomerDude56 SAC Omaha has the original landing gear. The tires are 8 to 10 feet tall. They also have a Goblin, said to fly pretty well. A 36 carried a nuclear reactor, dropped an A bomb on Albequerque, could fly far higher than a MiG 15, could stay up 36 hours. The prototype did'nt have the dog house on top it looked like a B 29. The plane is jammed full of tube type ECM. A crewman could get into the wings to inspect the engines. They had remote operated turrets which were later removed to increase altitude. No arial refueling. 10,000 mile range. Deicers in the propellers.

@@rogersmith7396 That's cool. (Well, except for the Albuquerque incident. I hadn't heard about that one.) Dad said a person could not only get into the wings, but could stand up inside. (He was only 5'8". I'm not sure how high the space was.) And he said that part of its ECM was a chaff dispenser in the back of the plane connected to 3 rolls of aluminum foil each 3' in diameter that made the thing look like a solid wall across the sky on radar. (I found a picture of the chaff dispenser slot once, but can't find it now.) He told me about the B-36N (nuclear) experiment when I was a kid. That sounds to me like a really dumb idea now. But I hadn't realized until recently that the GE engine for it actually proceeded to ground-test before Kennedy killed the project.

@@ThatBoomerDude56 The problem was with a crew safe nuclear reactor there was no weight for bombs. It was called the hole in the head bomber. Never heard how it was supposed to work but I assume steam turbines would turn the props and the reactor would make steam. There is a crewman interview at Castle AFB/museum which settles a lot of the planes controversy. It could fly at 63000 feet and often went over the USSR. They would sleep when over the USSR it was invulnerable. Also he laughs at going into the wings to oil the engines. He says they take hundreds of gallons of oil and their is no way a guy could get that to them.

Try reading the title before you watch a video.

Yep. It worked for all of the cold war.

Sort of like the Russians attacking South Korea.

@@rogersmith7396 I Will laugh when a B52 Will crash in your mobil home
