Hi,

Just finished watching the Supermodels 2 series on Discovery Shed. They were building a Globemaster with a 20 foot wingspan.

It was powered by 4 German made turbines, had pneumatic operated landing gear and cargo doors and even had an RC landrover on a 'chute that was to be extracted from the aircraft during flight. They never got to launch the landrover, but it did fly.

It also had 4 minature wireless cameras on it.

Cheers,

Andy
