Giant Airbus A400M

Giant Airbus A400M

Powered by four electric motors, this 12-foot-span  RC Airbus was built by  Hannes Heppe and flown at its first airshow at Flugtag in Grenchen, Switzerland. The 83-pound aircraft uses a 6000mAh 6-cell pack per motor and can fly for 7 minutes. Thanks to Markus Nussbaumer for taking this great video and sharing it on YouTube.

    I just wanted you to know how much I’ve been enjoying your work. I wish there were more women like you! So do hundreds of thousand of other men…

    You are incredible.

    Sincerely yours,

    1. Ease up, it’s called a joke, it’s a different culture and, probably, not as pathetically PC as the US. And remember, from a female perspective, he’s just a man.
