    Wow is the word.

    Growing up here in Sacramento we had 2 major air bases one a SAC base. I was lucky enough to see the Scale RC B29, B36 and the major fighters fly but that SR-71 is a work of art. Watch them start and B29 or B36 was an experience. The didn't have the digital controls they have now.

            That is way cool. I wonder if the speed is scale too?

              Incredible! Kelly Johnson is probably applauding from his grave. It makes one think back and appreciate what a phenomenal engineering accomplishment the real article was...

              Now, how'd you like to be sitting at some model plane roundup with your souped up P-51 'Stang, and have that thing roll up next to you?

                that thing not only looked way too cool, but sounded equally awesome to boot.

                  I looked at footage of the UAV's before and they reminded me of the U2. Seeing this makes me wonder with computers and photo tech being what they are, how long until one of these is made into a UAV?

                    Awesome! Even the wheels are made to look true to the original. We had a real one (A-12, privately rescued and restored) in a museum here. Then over the winter when the museum was closed the CIA pulled rank and collected it, it is now in front of the Langley HQ. They stole it!

                        They didn't steal it, they put it back into service.

                          Impressive, especially the sound of those engines.

                            Somehow I don't see Hobby Lobby stocking those.

                            I wonder if I could get one of those engines for my son's pinewood derby car this year....lol

                              MAKE magazine just had a "make your own UAV" article. The autonomous control circuits are readily available.
