In this crazy aviation video, we can see exactly how this RC Boeing puts most others to shame. Why? First, it's a scale model of the 747-400 (who doesn't love the Queen of the Skies?) in an older Virgin Atlantic livery. Second, it's surprisingly functional — it sports retractable landing gear, strobe lights, and 4 IQ Hammer 140 engines (which retail for a hefty $2,745 each). Nearly 20 feet long with a 19 foot wingspan, this 747 moves. The 1:13 scale model rockets away on takeoff and proceeds to make several impressive higher-altitude maneuvers. The airplane puts on quite a show at 6:20, as it buzzes the runway and the onlookers gathered to watch its flight. If you pause the video while the airplane is airborne, it's nearly indistinguishable from its real-world counterpart.
Does anyone have a remote control plane like this incredible one?
