When do you know if your model is "Super Scale" ?  Answer: When it needs a real Hanger and Runway.  Here`s a video of a 10 Metre long Concorde (33+ feet in English or old size).  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9P0ByxIymYg
Cost ? More than I care to imagine, but WOW. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Wow and I thought some of my builds were big.  I would be scared stiff to fly that in case I crashed it. Mark

A very interesting video, did you notice as he was bringing the concord into land he was performing a space shuttle S roll to bleed off speed. I think an ejection system for the engines would be necessary given that they usually cost more than the kit. 😀

That is a seriously impressive model and looked very stable in flight, which was probably due to the large size of the model and it's inherently large wing area. Love the camera view from underneath the fuselage when the undercarriage was raised and lowered. I also loved the sheer look of relief on the pilots' face when he successfully landed it after the maiden flight!
Awesome!
