Radio controlled model airplane enthusiasts have been pushing the envelope for years, making their models larger, more complex and more realistic. Additionally, it takes great skill to "fly" these models. This video shows model airplanes reenacting the flight of the Bell X-1. Chuck Yeager "broke the sound barrier" in this aircraft. You may remember that X-series aircraft were launched from the wings of B-29s. If you love aviation, this video is a must see! Click the link, below.
