Is this the Expensive Hobby forum?

Model-Jet Airplane

This is one absolutely amazing remote controlled [RC] model airplane. Not only did they build its jet engines, but included a retractable landing gear, and built it into a fully scaled model of the SR-71 "Blackbird" that flies just like the real McCoy. This SR-71 model was built by an Engineer / RC enthusiast in Germany , and is certainly one awesome toy.

    Cool. Even as an RC it looks very fast. SR71 was one of the greatest designs to ever fly IMHO.

    Ok glad I was not the only one to notice that! I can only imagine how much that cost to build.
