 RC 747 for sale by Estes.
The RC 747 for sale by Estes done in Air Force One colors uses 2-channel controls, steering by differential thrust to the four engines. Wingspan is 43" and power is by 4 unspecified type EDF engines. The Estes website no longer shows the model for sale.
We have seen a number of conversions of the Estes rc 747 to four or more channel control. RC modelers have added scale landing gear and different color schemes for realism.

Wing length of the Boeing 747 Model 8 has been increased by about 15 feet over prior models and the wings incorporate six foot winglets. Although the wings are longer, high strength alloys keeps their weight down to less than previous models.
