He built a second version and crashed that too....

A lot of work went into this plane and the engines. I respect individuals who have the courage to start and build such a project. Also, the guts to fly the plane after so many hours of work and the investment that went into the process.

It was just awsome.

And it crashed - see video 4

The crash was really dissapointing. Appeared to have lost RC communications, or maybe a stuck servo. Could also have been communications interference. One cannot really say what happened. I am sure though, that the builders and sponsors are devistated.

come on that much?
What is your proff?

3-5k for each engine (8). At least 3k in radio gear (that plane used three radios, not radio shack cheepies either, Futaba or JR top of the line guys,) and PCM recievers, too many 120$ servos to count. Then toss in the construction of the whole plane on top of that.

Easy 50k.
