Awesome SR-71 plane, there is a Youtube video of a B-52 RC plane that is pretty cool and realistic even when the ending is catastrophic. I can't imagine the loss the owner/pilot felt seeing his work go down. I guess this is the chance you take when you play with big boy toys.

Re: Radio Control SR-71 blackbird, HUGE
Just guessing, but probably about 20k. Hard to say without knowing more details about it, but that's about average for a jet that size. The title is misleading, it is actually a single turbine. It is a very, very cool plane though. The SR-71 is one of my all time favorites.

Wow, awesome SR71!! I've looked at a lot of EDF jets on bananahobby.com (not a highly rated seller but cool looking stuff) and love the sound and detail of the jets with full retractable gear and stuff.
Would love to try planes some day but it just looks really really expensive. That and the fact you can't just go outside and fly (unless its small) means it will have to wait for me

Traxxas needs to make something like that and sell it at Walmart, just like the XO-1.USA-1 wrote:This one pretty fast![]()

Re: Radio Control SR-71 blackbird, HUGE
there is a rc C130 hercules out there that needs 2 18wheelers to cart it around. i tried like heck to find a video of it on youtube but could only find planes 1/2 it's size.
if you can find the video it's impressive. i think it's 1/4 scale.
