RC Antonov An-255 Mriya
Michael Speier built this RC Antonov An-255 Mriya. The actual one was a Soviet Union-designed strategic airlift cargo aircraft finished in the late 1980s. The model is 1:16 in scale and uses two Behotec JB-180 gasoline engines and four 90er EF 6s electric fan engines. Speir also added 32 wheels landing gear system. The RC aircraft is a staggering 17.89 feet long and has a wingspan of 19.03 feet. We are impressed with the detail on this one and are curious about the time it took to build.
