OK, everyone's seen a million RC model videos, but this one's pretty cool:

It's a B-29. A historically accurate pairing:

There have been a couple versions of that model built
by Mac Hodges.

One of them lost control and went through the windshield of a
rental car at an RC airshow. I can't find an internet
reference to the event.

The aerobatic maneuvers of the models of the X-1 and the B-29
are, of course, outside the general operating limits of the
prototypes. :o)
