They are some fantastic models! I can't believe that A380 model made it in the air!!!! then again, i can't believe the real thing did either!

EDIT*** Wanna see it fly?

Edit 2**** After browsing that video site a little more, I found this, it's hillarious! Especially for the Dutch guys! (Not so good for the Austrians though!)

EHM-1001 Robert:
Hehe,

I saw a small document, which showed this years first international air show took place in Dubai some weeks ago. There were some RC models as stars presented there. Of course one was an A380 in Emirates livery.

Do you remember 007 - Golden Eye ? Those MIG-29s in the movie were similar models like this one, with real jet engines.

I heard these jet engines are nothing else than large turbochargers. You need to disassemble a turbocharger and insert a combustion chamber between the 2 rotating wheel, inject fuel to there, and you got a real jet engine ! Voila :) Experts said, the best jet engines can be made of panzer-tank engine turbochargers, because those are reeeeaaaal huge ! ;D

EHM-0641 Rico:
d**n !! u can buy a car for the money spend on those things man ..!

The Globe master is just awesome





This one looks very real


No wonder the ducth guy though a real 747 went down, if it looked like this !
