Model B29 with X1 Rocket
This video has likely made its rounds, but I'll post it anyway. I just saw it for the first time and its quite impressive.

 Do you think that is a model rocket motor on the X1?

I would assume so. I don't have any sound so I can't get any commentary (if there is any). I don't know much about model rockets or how big their engines get, but the X1 was definately not lacking in power!

I have seen this fly in person. The owner/builder/pilot is Mac Hodges of Hodges Hobbies in Georgia. Mac is a farmer that just happens to have an 1800 sq ft hobby shop on his property beside an 1500' x 300' grass strip for his full scale Cub and the members of his club.     His farm/fielld/store is a 3 hour drive, one way, south west of Atlanta. I know I have done it several times. The first time I was there was on a Sunday and they were just winding down a week long Memorial Fly-in. It was Giant Scale heaven. When he pulledout the B-29... WOW!  YES this is a B-29 in a Hover!              How is this for a Sun Shelter and check out the weather vane!
