Here is an amazing video of Giant RC Lockheed Super Constellation – Took 5 Years to Build
According to the video’s description, this model is owned and was built by Keith Mitchell. He spent over five years designing and building this model and before he could bring it to this airshow, he had to complete 12 test flights and be up in the air for more than 2 hours to make sure it’s airworthy and safe to be around spectators. It passed with flying colors.

Lockheed’s Super Constellation
Mitchell got the inspiration to build this work of art after one of his favorite aircraft which is, of course, the real Super Constellation. It was an airliner built by Lockheed back in 1951 and produced until 1958. Used for both military and civilian applications, it was even used as a presidential plane and the first one to be officially called Air Force One.
