Model Airplane Flight Video

Now, really, think about it.

Isn't it just amazing that a heavy piece of metal can float in the water? That's what a big ship or vessel is.

And isn't it just as amazing that man can build a metal monstrosity that can soar through the air defying gravity? Or is it more amazing that we will get into these airborn machines and leave the safety of having sand between our toes and shade trees above our heads?

Some guys built a model airplane. What a hobby, particularly at the scale they did it.

Here are the specs that were in the email forward.

• Actually has 8 "real turbines" at about $1500 each!
• It took over 2 years to build.
• It has a wing span of about 22 feet and takes multiple pilots, as there are so many things to control.
• Do you think they were nervous during the maiden flight?
• It's unbelievable that someone would make this --- all real turbines!
• Check out the movie link below to see the first flight.

Don't know what is fact or fiction, but the video link below will speak for itself.
