There are cool RC jets, and then there is this SR-71 Blackbird. This beauty has a length of almost 11 feet and has a top speed of 200 mph. It looks and sounds great. Flying with the Swiss Alps in the background doesn’t hurt the video either. Congrats to the builder and pilot, Roger Knobel of Switzerland, for one of the coolest RC jets we’ve seen. Bravo!
SR-71 Blackbird 1/10-Scale Beauty
Unless the men in the video are giants that model does not have an eleven foot wingspan. More likely it’s length is eleven feet.
Hi Denis – nice catch! It is in fact 11-feet long, and we’ve updated the post. Thanks!
A stunning example of a state of the art RC turbine jet!
