Taken from the youtube description.

First flight of Wilfried Wolterinck's scratchbuilt Boeing 747-200 in 1994. The plane is powered by four Ducted Fans using 15 cc glow engines. Span 3.7 meters, length 4.4 meters, weight 32 kilogramms.

Here's the actual video...

Wow! It needs almost the same runway size as the real thing.

But the sound is annoying. Reminds me of those idiots driving scooters with extra-loud mufflers...

[Goran_M]

Definitely needs a lot more "rumble" in the engines.

I hope there was a bell ringing in their heads to change the sound of the engines somewhere between 1994 and now, haha Apart from that, I still would love to have this rc model.

The price tag of this thing would have to be huge!
