YAK-130 RUSJET - highly detailed, 1/4 Scale Model 1

[WKTaylor]

Folks…

I have always been impressed with Russian Technology… If for no other reason than "it works". However, this is an absolutely stunning engineering and fabrication feat.

The group of individuals who contributed is obviously dedicated to technical excellence!

Waay cool! I love the working displays and the how the pilot looks like one of the makers.

I like the use of JB Weld.

The Soviets invented it, you know!

Looks like they failed to credit the Soviets in this?

Thanks Wil...Since I started looking at the RC side of aircraft for the first time in 30 years I find all this technology. Wow what a difference a few years (and electronics) can make.
This has led me to such things as the SR71 and this...

That was HEAVY ;-) Couldn't wrap my brain around a C-17 doing a hammerhead, though...

Couldn't help but be impressed by this video. Almost makes me want to get back into the hobby...almost! The sailplane near the end of the video is quite similar to my last effort.
