Oh my god! Where do I get mine!?!??! Now all they need to do is do it with a B-52 with the X-15.

Probably already been done. Look HERE
Unfortunately this one has since crashed & burned.

I checked into that B-29 & from what I can make out it crashed some years ago. One wing parted company during a barrel roll. Can't say I'm surprised. No way is that wing span 21 feet so it must be an old video. The owner & pilot Mac Hodges has since built a bigger version.

It's fine for a novelty turn at model shows & I love the X-1 with its rocket motor. The purist in me prefers these large scale models to be flown realistically which is far more difficult. This one is terribly overpowered & the scale speed during those stunts must be about 600 mph. ::)
