I used to make rubber-band prop-driven airplanes.

This is a bit more than that....http://shock.military.com/Shock/videos.do?displayContent=111875

:o I had a fantasy about this. I'm not kidding, at 15 I was dreaming of the perfect model airplane and it was that bomber, that size (k maybe smaller but I was smaller) and it had those little bomb things with the gunpowerder tabs that blow up when youi drop them.

The world is a wonderful place when you have the money to afford it.

My absolute favorite RC model plane is this one - B29 R.C plane with X1 spaceship (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4315881021843298996&q=B-29+RC+plane&total=34&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0)

We need a drool smiley. That is freakin awesome!

You know what plane would make an interesting model like that? The Convair B-36. That thing was bigger than a B52 and it had a mix of both piston and turbojet engines. It would be interesting modeling both engine types on one model.

I'm not gonna lie...the B-29 was pretty impressive...retractable landing gear on a model?!

It did....*goes looking for YT video*

Can't say for sure it is the same plane, but there can't be many 8 engine gas turbine model B52s of that size.
Could be worse of course. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSB-EqorBno)
