  • looks pretty cool

  • I can't wait to see both of your planes when finish looking awesome fellas I definitely wish I was part of the family

  • that thing is Imense !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it !!!! how did you get the gear to go up in the correct way ? The way the landing gear goes up on the B-1B is so complex i love to know how you got it to retract properly

    I'd love you to hook me up to one of them !! Out of curiosity how much would you charge me for it ??

  • man you are some craftsman. i fly turbine jets and just am amazed of the talent you have in building. like milling your own gear is incrediable. cant wait to see it when its done...

  • you get ur talent from ur dad

  • Wow ! I'm 14,212

  • cool lucky to have a dad with that much skill and is willing to help.

  • amazing effort going on there

    That landing gear is brilliant if I may add.

    This in some huge plane. I hope it builds out and flies fine for you.

    All the best.

    I am yet to go through rest of your videos.

  • Man thats epic

  • that landing gear is gawjus !!! i love good machinging

  • your dad must be a mechanical engineer

  • when u flying it

  • when its done.

  • i bet it sucks know that you spent 3 weeks to cut out all those bulkheads and such and then you get a mold from texas

  • I refuse to believe that it took only a week to sheet this thing ITS MASSIVE!!!

  • where did you get the mold.

  • if you meen the foam plug I have a friend in texas that has a cnc machine and he cut it out of blue foam and im makeing a mold from that

  • @hornitpilot if you use multiple engines do you have to sync them to prevent asymmetrical thrust..... if so how....

  • that's fucking deadly! Good choice on the B-1 too...it's a very nimble design...a bomber that flies like a fighter. How much are you gonna be charging for one of those?

  • Where did you find those electric actuators? I'm working on a 1/8 scale a-7, working on plug right now, but those look perfect to power the gear.

  • yoall dont listend vvery well do ya? The foam was "CNC'd" by a realy big and expensive milling machine. These guys are using the foam as a mold.

    Anyway, very very cool! looking forward to seeing it complete!

  • That's is a very nice looking gear.

    We are missing all the fun !

    Where is the video showing all the bulkheads in place and how to cover them step by step with the blue foam ??

    The materials, construction steps, and the process is what would make the lessons interesting.

  • Does that blue foam come in one piece or is it made up of idividual sheets.

    What's the chemical name of that foam?

  • it comes in 4x8 sheets 4in thick it is used for insolation I dont realy no the name people call blue foam

  • what kind of foam is this made out off

  • What a really cool father & son project! Really looking forward to seeing it fly!  May The Force Be With You!

  • WOW thats one big plane . Excellent!!!!!

  • Holey cow...What a fantastic project. My hat is off to you. Good job. I hope to see that first flight video too. 5 stars for sure and good luck.

  • How much one of these will cost finished?Will these be able to fly at Rc Air Shows?

  • I got my resin and glass yesterday and man was it a late nite last nite got the top of the fuse fineshed going to do the botton today and start priming monday

  • im tryin the same project could you help me out could your friend cnc me a body to it wouldent mattter if it was a b-1 02 a b-29 please help

  • what do you think that the ready to fly weight will be?

  • 55lbs thats my story and im sticking to it! NO I realy dont have a clue Im gonna do all I can to keep it under 100lbs dry and jet fuel is 7lbs a gallon and will have at least 5 gallons on bord thats 35lbs

  • Was this donate by Butch Sickels?

  • yes

  • dang. that plane is huge. reminds me of the guy in Missouri making a huge SR-71 like you here. Will love to see that thing get off the ground. After you get done doing it as an 1/8th scale, try doing it as 1/12 scale, and you can kit it out into the market. 1/8 alone, will very likely get an article done in JETs as well, yet alone make everyone's jaw's drop.

  • Man thats awesome, fantastic job and that's not even finished, i can wait till i see it flying!!!!!!!

  • nice work I have my profile B1B ready for motors for a test bed on how to make the canards work on a gyro to help the CG and center of lift change. I am thinking this is going to be the best way to fix the problem with the least amount of drag and wight. so if that works the way I am thinking I'll have the problem solved and would give you this info

    If you fly it at War Birds Over Denver this summer

  • Thats a HUGE project!! Do you have a timeframe for this beauty? I look forward to seing further updates.

  • Thanks for your suport and pleasnt coment.I am hopeing to have one flying in 90 days problt sooner but dont wanna make that promas.dad and I do this full time so it wont take us too long.
