Highest number of power plants on an R/C plane?
Just wondering what the highest number of power plants have people seen on an rc plane. Once i saw a B-52 with 8 operational ducted fans, looked really good, only thing i thought that ket it down was the fact that it didn't have a U/C

Lots-o-engines
When I read about 16 engines on a model and how to keep them running, I had this memory of the old Ed Sullivan show on CBS TV when that guy used to try to spin all those plates on the tops of sticks. When he got to the last one, the first one almost fell off.
I can't keep one engine going, let alone 16!

what a feat just getting all those started...

Hmmm, could be. But what I'm remembering was a large airplane, and the engines were .10 's or .15's...
And it was a single fuselage if I remember right...
But like I said, it was many years ago...
I kinda think it may have been a control line model, though, now that you mention that. But, that would be an awfully large ukie... so I'm gonna bet that it was R/C.
The mind's eye grows fuzzy with time....

LOL nope! Damn thing had 6 tractors and 6 pushers. The guy had 2 oz tanks on engines one side of the plane, then 1 oz on the other becuse it would take him that long to get all those engines started! Sounded like a bee hive once they where all running.
