amazing r/c footage

Wow, i've seen made from scratch bombers before but this is really cool. check it out. it's a b-29 that actually launches an x-1 which goes really fast.

If you do some more searching I believe you can find a video of that same B-29 breaking up during a slow roll. I seem to remember the wing folding just outside of one of the outer engines (I dont remember if it was outside 1 or 4 though).

Les could you please post the video or a link to it?

I must be thinking of another video.... I remember at the end of the one Im talking about they have a cool slow motion view showing the wing folding over... pretty dramatic!
