[Rollover0105]

I can't post links in here, so you'll have to do a search, but here's what I found for Lance's Blackbird in it's current state.

The Sled at JWM 2011 "Jet World Masters 2011 SR 71" by "Tooommmek"

Another video of the Sled at Jets Over Kentucky 2011 "SR-71 Kentucky Jets" by "TurbineF14"

Careful you dont want to start another cold war!

[legojoe12345]

Can you spy on your neighbors with it?

[pbarc552]

That was a beautiful landing!

[hunts168]

nice



[Super69stang]

Hi, What is the width and length, weight?

What turbines are you using?

[Nomoreidsleft]

@wingspan100 Go check out his web site. This thing is a beast. Taller than he his by about a foot and he says with two OS 91 engines!

Sick landing!!! Absolutely beautiful.

[Rollover0105]

Lance,

Any chance you'll show us a video with the scale landing gear and inlet spikes installed? I can't believe you are building another one with the crazy restrictions you put on yourself! Good luck. I look forward to following your progress.

[Doonocarinaguy]

Can that thing break the sound barrier?

[phippsa3]

Superb landing.

[adr712]

good landing

[TV843]

Remarkable piece of machinery. Your landing was spot-on! Great work.

[EphraimRodrigez]

its so beautiful

i love that airplane

[OsanBlackCat5RS]

SR-71 shaped airfoils still fly!!!

[fosterbt]

nice landing dude

[JoseKagan]

this guy's been working on it for 7 years and its still not done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[YoungJim409]

I admire his persistence. How often does someone spend seven years of his life on something without saying, "screw it," and going to do something else?

[holm79]

Yep! Passion cant be compared to time or money..

[OperJeff]

beautiful

[0leebd0]

That landing was picture perfect

[CraigGBR]

yeh great landing

[georgitushev]

The greatest plane ever , finally resurrected !

[Rollover0105]

You have one awesome project there. Most people don't stick with a project for that amount of time and money. I'm impressed, and I can't wait to see it finished. I wonder if there's any way you could put a FPV system in there without messing up scale appearance? Have you seen the RVOSD or the new EagleTreeSystems ProOSD? Flying the sled with one of those would be sweet!

[YoungJim409]

I agree, a camera would be really cool. If you don't want the weight in the nose you could put it on a pylon like the aircraft had to carry the D-21, further toward your C of G.

[shadieroc]

not sure if i've seen a smoother landing...

[kegboyman]

you should mount a tiny camera so you could see, it would make flying very exciting

[cicolli]

now that was a greaser!

Nice flying mate.

[Whammytap]

Awesome! I would love to see more vid of this plane!

[Jokerr6900]

very sweet plane man and a perfect landing. 5 stars all the way!

[cracky76]

Looks awesome Lance. I guess we won't be seeing her fly at Taylor. It was sure nice to see you fly the crap out of your F-15 though!

[red33410]

Sweet! Must have been a blast to build and fly such a head-turner!

[NightFlyyer]

Very nicely done and sweet landing. 5 stars.

[KVLai]

It was fabulous, I was wondering anyone in this world can build a RC jet that can get sonic boom.

Please comment. Thank you

[georgitushev]

you need turbine to work on super sonic speed ..

[iyad777]

Lance, congratulations it was a pleasure to watch your jet fly... i have watched your progress on this project since 2002, i am was so delighted to finally see it fly (in video)...  what is your next project going to be? i am hoping you will go for the Concorde...

[mrenn2929]

Unbelievable!My favorite jet of all time.Congrats on the build!That is one beautiful model you got there,thanks for the video!

[p4jkafla]

What a seriously excellent project. It will be a definite show winner when you're done. Wow..all I can say is wow!

[mugenkidd]

wow great project!! I see you just posted this video I'm glad I'm one of the first to see it. Are you going to post on RCU??

[SledDriver13]

Thanks. I'll probably just keep it posted here. Next week, I'll get an update to the build web site, and reference back here to the video, for those that have been following along on the build over the years.

[deddles]
