Awesome toy. I wonder what the top speed of that little blackbird is.


That guys toy taste should trickle down to his clothes taste. I never seen a man wearing capris before. Even the color looked like chic pants.

I like that he seemed so casual during his pre-flight. Seems as though he has much experience in RC flying. Way cool!

There is an RC B-29 Superfortress that has about a 5 foot wingspan. Four engines, retractable landing gear and bombbay doors, fubctional flaps, etc. Way cool!

Rant alert!!!!!

OK, great plane . . . So is the B29, but WTF!!!! Ever since I went to that Farkin' Fark site where the SR71 video is posted I have this flippin' techno musak wave file that has taken over my PC :eek: I am honkin' serious!! The only way to shut it up is mute. If I play another audio file it's there below it. I shut down Firefox, it's still there. I have put the computer on Standby, it's there. Run Task Manager, nothing shows. The only thing I haven't done is restart, but I am determined to control this mangy critter before I give in. What is going on?????? Fark this . . . Grrrrrrr.

You need IE.:D:D

I see so many "you need foxfire" answers from the "experts" that it pleasures me to say that.

LOL! You may have a Firefox process running in the background. I've seen that happen before.

Re: One FINE Christmas toy

Well color me stupid . . . Uh, so I was shutting all down as in giving up. Had a quite a bit open. A few spreadsheets, email Word Docs, pics, pdf's . . . typical load :eek: So I just closed one of the spreadsheets and the incessant music stopped :confused: Well, earlier today somebody sent me a stupid Tiger Woods game, it opened in Excel of all places :rolleyes: Computer was already muted. When I opened the SR71 movie I wanted to hear the mini-jet so I unmuted. That stupid music started and so did the little jet, so I assumed it was from the same Farkin' deal . . . Well uh, guess what? It wasn't, so you all can forget your Firefox bashing and blame it all on me . . . :razz: Never mind.

Yeah QC, Fark.com is not at all a bad site. In fact it's an awesome site I used to kill hours a day on.

I was thinking that same thing, it looked verry squirrely, maybe that's why he didn't do any stunts, probably still in the experimental stages, definately looked like a first flight landing too.

Yeah, I think the axial tail rotor assembly was 3 degrees off gimbal lock, too. Super dangerous! Damn amateurs! ;)

I mean, sweet jet! :D Priced those engines.. wow. $3K each for the base models. Amazing tech to fit a real jet engine in such a small package.
