Downloading right now, this just has to be awesome! I will let you know what I think of it...

Ok I watched it... looks like the forward gear set on the pilots side didnt retract...

Absolutely awesome performance though, I guess its new minie jet engines instead of ducted fans... I love the sound of the jet engines!

The landing lights were a great touch also! They need to add drag chutes... and where are the JDAMS?!?!? lol!!

Absolutley beautiful job of design, construction, and piloting...

CAG out...

It must be hard to pilot such an aircraft.

None of the landing gear retracted, I guess they didnt build that feature into it

I'm slooooowly Dl'ing the video now, perhaps it was an early flight and just like in real life they didnt want to risk a malfunction just yet, I dont blame them.

I dont agree, I blew up the size of the video and it looks to me as though the wing and main gear retracted at about 1/4 to 1/2 of the way into the video, but he front left gear didnot retract...

Either way its an awesome RC model...

at first the outriggers and rear mains retract, but not the fronts. Eventually the right front comes up too, but the left stays down the whole time. On landing the right outrigger doesnt extend.

It looks like a B-52B variant or an early B-52C/D variant. You know the ones NASA uses to test and such? Anyhow, I wonder if it can fly without a tail like the real B-52.

well they BETTER call it a pre EVS G cause it definatly has the shorter vert stab of the G/H variants.
