This aircraft runs on four chainsaw motors.

Pretty cool. It has a lot better power-to-weight than the real thing! Try outside-looping a real B-29. Well worth the download.

I can't imagine how heartbreaking it would be to crash that thing, though - gimme IL-2 any day! ;\)

Alot of time, money, and love went to that plane. Now that brings me to this question, WHY fly it like a stunt plane??!!

Great find \:\) thanx for sharing

I've seen a Ohka RC that used rocket motors. Samething with the Me163. Really neat
