After watching some of those videos espesialy the b-52 I dont think my wife can complain abought my hobys being expensive any more. I think you could buy a dealership full of ATVs for what that b-52 crash cost. That helicopter video was wild. I have never seen anything fly like that. Reminded me a lot of a dragon fly.

I was reading some of the stats on that B52 model. It said it has (had) a 27 foot wingspan, was 23 feet long, weighed 335 pounds when loaded with fuel and held nearly 6 gallons of Jet A. Impressive!!

When flying you gatta remember there is no "up"... just less down.

Oh yeah...it takes about $1500 for a bare bones heli and they go up from there. You are not a heli flyer unless your have 4-5 of them and a couple hundred pounds of leftover parts haha.

spectacular aerobatics.

bentwings.....wonder where that handle came from???
