Summer has finally made it to Germany...

This is Victors little Tower Hobbies Uproar. Its his latest plane since selling his Trainer to Chief Master Sargeant Gary Coleman. Now Victor can safely say he no longer flys a trainer aircraft and is free (atleast for now) from the ridicule brought forth by his long lost brother Jeff Sweetenburg. Ok so they arent really brothers, but you wouldnt know it because they bitch and talk crap to each other like siblings.




This is the coolest R/C thing i've seen in a while... Its a Huge Turbine powered R/C jet. This thing is sick. The pictures dont show how big it actually is, but I would guess it had atleast a 6 or 7 foot wingspan, For my non R/C friends, it is powered by a real working turbine model engine, just like the full size version. It sounds just like the full size version. It flys just like the full size version. It was an awesome display of fine crafstmanship. It was owned by a German gentleman so I didnt get all of the details but, I understood this to be its first flight, and it cost around 8000 Euro (about $10,000 dollars!!) to build. The kit it self cost 2000 euro, the motor around 3000 euro, and the electronics, retractable landing gear, braking system and other goodies add up to the difference. I only saw it fly a short time, but it was impressive none the least.



This in the inside of the monster turbine powered Jet. Lots of cool electronic gismos in this thing, most of which I have no idea as to what they are... Very nice clean install, It had dual tanks on each side of the fuse behind the intake tracts. They must have been huge becasue it took for ever to fuel it up with kerosene. Very cool...
