149 Kg Concorde RC Model - Simply Amazing!

Submitted
I hope this isn’t inappropriate for this forum but I can’t think of an audience more likely to be inclined to appreciate it. Just when you think you’ve seen it all... (youtube.com) More...

Yes, the video is one-of-a-kind. Quite an investment to build this huge RC model. Story says it uses 4x JetCat P300 Turbines for propulsion. At a list price of 5000 Euro per engine, that's 20000 Euro material cost merely for the engines. Admire the working droop nose and retractable gear on this Concorde model.

Not sure why they chose to put random words across where the windows would have been. Why? Spoils the look somewhat.

Looking closer I think the words suggest the windows and other details will be added later, so fair enough. Very impressive either way.

I agree with Lee . Why must people always get their noses bent out of shape , when someone creates such a marvel .
Then they use a cheap put down , like 'what a waste of money " You must be with-out and cheap .

The term “stupid money” isn’t a put down. It’s used in a manner more akin to “stupefying”.

Car guys will talk about the “stupid money” they or other people spend on a car or a part.

I would guess the builder doesn’t have any money worries,so it’s just an expensive hobby like boars, airplanes, cars, and expensive women.😀

I had a lot more fun watching this than I would a guy taking a woman out on a lavish date.
