Too bad the wind storm put it out of commission for Sunday! I was there on Sun. and heard about this and was bummed I missed it. The BIG C-119 was cool though!

Great modeling and piloting! I followed the progress of this bird as it became posted periodically. I am glad to see someone else with similar interest in the B-36.

I've got a special place in my mind for the B-36, my dad worked on them back when they were making them in FT. Worth, TX. He worked in the cockpit putting the yokes and rudder pedals in I beileve.  Sure wish there was a flying real one or two left.

Very, very cool! But *please* get a tripod for the camera or at least have your rolling credit at the start over a still of the plane sitting on the grass.

Great job, will it be at the Muncie warbird fly-in??

Also dag214 here on youtube has a 21' B-36D he is building. They say it will be the largest B-36 in the world, and the largest electric RC plane. Cheers.

I put together a Top Flite B-25 ARF which took me forever. I cant even imagine the amount of work that must have gone into this baby. I hope to see it in August. Thanks for posting!
