I worked at NASA - Armstrong Flight Research Center back in 1968 when the X-15 program was active. These models are amazing especially the release of the X-15. Thank you all for the hard work and the investment of time and money.
Actually, that famous crash was the M2-F2 on May 10, 1967, pilot Bruce Petersen; the HL-10 did not crash and made its last flight July 10, 1970 The crashed M2-F2 was salvaged and in 1969 rebuilt as the M2-F3 and flown a couple dozen times between 1970 and 1972.
@@scottfw7169 Yep, but in the episode Deadly Replay, it is confirmed to be the HL10 that Steve Austin crashed, even though the crash shown in the title credits every episode in the m2f2. The show producers just figured the masses wouldn't know the difference ;) Lots of great hl10 footage in the Deadly Replay episode
Actually, the B-52 was test flown with no stabilization at all. It flies great without it, like most well designed airframes. (Credit to Boeing) It now flies with a Demon Cortex stabilizer. It dampens some motion from wind and turbulence. Thank you very much!
Pretty good. Too bad the X-15 wasn't visible for more than a couple seconds in the video. I'm assuming the spectators got more out of this event. Ya'll might think about hiring professional videographers for this sort of investment.
Very good but the inability to keep focus on the B 52 detracted from the video. It would have been nice if somebody had filmed the X 15 release and followed its flight. Awsome model.

I'm glad you like it! Thank you for the comment.
That’s just an awesome B-52 RC credits to the rc pilots & those who made this awesome plane.It’s defensively an eyecatcher!
For all us Bionic man fans, like to see an HL10 drop, rocket boist and glide landing.
Cool thing is, you're authentic whether you crash land or not 😅

That's a great idea!
Bro, that was just EPIC!!!
Thank you!
Awesome BUFF! Excellent flying! 😊
Man that thing looks perfect 👌
Great job building and flying it
Thank you very much.
I’m guessing AS3X was involved? I’ve never seen a model b52 fly so well before! Congratulations!

Thank you very much!
This is extrodinary1 Great aero modeling and wzpert flying!!
Best R/C B-52 flight I have seen!
Thank you. I really appreciate that!
Thanks for showing this.
Absolutely amazing!!!
Great, but should have focused on the X-15 after the drop…did it become a lawn dart?
Speaking of focus, the camera persons phone seemed to be having issues.
Nope, the X-15 glides to a landing after the rocket burns out.

Balls Eight!😃
Outstanding
HOT BUFF B-52
Filmed at Burpelson Air Force Base
cool rc
Excellent.
Only slightly shorter take off roll than the real thing!😊
was the x-15 model powered and R/C as well, or a glider?
its an RC model and its rocket powered
@@leozengy👍thank you for sharing.

It’s the year 2024 and the X-15 is not rocket powered? That was a colossal rip-off.
it is indeed a rocket engine
@@leozengy I recall only seeing the X-15 fall off to the side, not to be seen again. Did I miss something?
@@B36HPeacemaker It falls off then it flies off. I didnt get that on camera unfortunately
@@leozengy Ah, so I’m half right. I rest my case.
@@B36HPeacemaker lol
The one thing i dislike about R/C pilots is they taxi, take off and land way too fast.
