B-29 replica first flight

Seeing the replica in the air is amazing!

 

 

So this is a 35% scale replica flying 'Experimental Class' not an RC aircraft!!!

He is kind of crazy to climb up into that thing but it does look cool, and sounds cool too considering it is powered by 4 Honda Fit Engines, at least those engines are reliable

Wow! Pure magic.

Imagine the Wright brothers seeing this in their time...

That's what I was trying to figure out.  I think it is an Experimental with a pilot in there, right?  Quite a deal.

Very interesting, sad about the crash ... never really understood why so many airports are next to golf courses.  Glad no fatalities.

I was wondering why they didn't show any video of the landing. This is why.

Thanks for this....good to hear this wasn't a worse ending...I immediately thought what in heck am I seeing, an RC plane? How does one build such a thing and get some sort of license to fly it and then there was the nearby golf course...and then bingo you posted this write up.

This should have been done miles from anywhere as its experimental.  Anyway, glad to hear no fatalities.

The woman was standing in the golf cart taking pictures of the aircraft. No mention was made about a golf course.

I see, I saw the driving golf cart, was focused on the plane, and the nice manicured lawn made it look like there was a golf course near by...me bad..😄
