Sort of off topic i guess, but what the heck things are pretty quiet in here these days. Here's a scratch built 1/18 scale r/c Tuplev Bear.

Err...wow.

How about a 1/18 Backfire?

actually, with a 10 foot wingspan it's a bit too big, more like 1/16 scale.

Holy poop, I read some of the R/C forum posts on that thing---the props actually are counter-rotating. How cool is that? The sound that thing makes in flight is unreal---almost like a real Bear but shifted to ultra-high pitch.

Sweeeeeet.
