Beautiful model and great flyer. Pretty ballsy to stunt the bird, though. The airfoil was not designed for inverted flight. Only the fact that he has the power-to-weight ratio let him get away with it.

Here's another beautiful giant scale model, and yes, this is a scale B 52 with real axial-flow turbine power. Notice the spoiler flaps and the landing lights when he lands.

Sadly, the '52 met an untimely end when the pilot got disoriented and cross-controlled and augered it in. Even the smoke cloud was scale.

Then there's this B 29, touted as the largest RC model, at 1/5th scale. I love how the wings even flex realistically.
