Worlds Largest Model RC Plane

February 28, 2008

For those who have been with us for a while you may have noticed I have a thing for aviation and though the only experience I have had with model aircraft was watching a neighbor chase his dog around his back yard with his model aircraft (the dog was obviously not stressed about it). As hobbies go, model aircraft are cool, the building as well as the flying takes considerable skill and dedication which I appreciate.

The model is of a Boeing B-29 Superfortress, one of the largest aircraft to see service during World War II and the Korean War. The Superfortress was one of the earlier pressurized aircraft, it had a central fire-control system, remote-controlled machine gun turrets and it carried the atomic bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and 3 days later Nagasaki.
