    You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.

    That has got to be the coolest thing I have ever seen.

    Give that man a medal!

    Nice find Ed! There are some great RC models on YouTube - Phantoms, B52's and so on. There are also a few RC vids on YouTube shot at the Tokoroa airstrip as they have some great fly-in's there.

    I've seen the B52 one, that's cool as well.

    These guys have got talent for sure!

    Very cool.

    Funny thing is I though it was going to be some secret new mega-road-burner V4 Honda Blackbird!

    This is also entertaining...

    I quite like this one - an RC Sea Fury with a 5cyl Radial.
    I've seen model V12 merlins but haven't found one being used in a plane, they are usually just on test frames and minus a supercharger.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    A little off topic here.....

    Yeah, it was '87 at the annual Reno Air Races in Nevada. Fly-bys I can remember SR71 full after burner pull out etc, B52, B1B, U2, the latest jets of the age, a gaggle of hopticoptors, P38 demo (the engines off routine), P47 demo, ah the memory fades.......

    The pylon racing was stunning! Serious money required for that stuff!
