RC Any one

[peter]

I don't play with RC myself (too expensive), but I've been seeing this gargantuan RCs online lately, and it just amazes me what people are building for themselves. For example, a a/72 scale Yamato:

The holy $hit factor on this home-build is through the roof.

Here's few others...this B-29 is old news, but holy crap:

And I'm looking forward to seeing this monster fly:

LOL, dude's got some da*ned good reflexes!

That 1/72 Yamato is so "fu*k yeah!"

ed: isn't there an RC C-17 Globemaster as well? That thing has got to be a challenger to the B-29 for "world's largest"?

-1 to the B-29 for having inaccurate propellers.

1/72 Yamato. Friggin A.

I'm trying to get into R/C aviation after I was given a beginner plane as a gift, but I don't have the nerve just yet to fly this thing. After witnessing some horrendous (and hilarious) crashes by all sorts of crafts built by my friends, I'm racking up hours on a sim before the maiden flight.

I understand your fear. The one and only thing my father and I did together was build a Sig Kadet Jr. RC plane from the ground up-took us over 2 years to do it and untold hours. I crashed that thing 15 minutes after takeoff during its maiden flight.

Focusing more time on R/C than gunpla & anime; matter of fact I'm about ready to sell off a crapload of classic HG & MG kits from my 2 tours in Japan for cash.

Flying takes me where static displays & anime mecha imagination leaves me at a standstill. Too many good Macross & Yukikaze designs screamin out to be made R/C from foam & cardboard anyways.

Those mega projects like the Yamato need to see themselves end up in museums when the creators are done. Fan-friggan -tastic!!

Didn't a few Macross RCs pop up a little while ago?

I know it's necropost. Instead of starting a new thread. But hey, these are cool.
