Holy crap that's big. When you open that photo separately in the web browser and zoom in, you get the true size of that beast.

RE: New BIG TOY - smuzz - 04-08-2011
Yes, I think 7.6 kW at full-bore would be enough for some very un-scale flying
It will be interesting just to witness all four motors going flat-out on the ground - you could sell tickets to the first complete run-up test mate!
RE: New BIG TOY - gbanger - 04-08-2011
Do think we should invite the fire department? That sounds pretty balistic!!!
Interesting!! I want to see that!
RE: New BIG TOY - Skidz - 04-08-2011
