Chuck Yager Replica

[BDSax]

i got this in an email and its amazing. If you dont know who Chuck Yager is please watch The History Channel or read a book.

This model B-29 is powered by four chain saw engines. Think of the time and money that went into this project.

Yaeger was the first guy to break the speed of sound, in the 40's I think? He's still alive today, we met him at an airshow a couple years ago.

Last name is spelled Yeager, I've always loved aviation shows.

But you kept saying Yager and all I could think of was "Jager"

Amazing, great build and the x1 and pilot stunts were great, it looks like it flies better than the original, but if those are chainsaw motors they must be heavily modified in the carburetors to handle inverted flight.

Last I checked, out of thosands built only one original vintage ac is still flying.

I shared this video with a f-body site that i'm on and a guy posted that the motors are not chain saw motors. He said they are these things here http://www.ardmodels.com/zdz_80rv.htm And he said his dad works at the place where that was taped http://www.hodgeshobbies.com/home.html.. It is still a cool and amazing project that they did.
