Thumbs up Airplane

Hey guys, check out this little R/C airplane. This sure is not like the kind I am used to flying.
This guy probably has more in this plane than alot of us paid for out trucks.

I would donate all of my neighbors organs to have one of these, (I need mine)

Man that is awsome,I used to do the RC thing years ago and saw some exciting planes but thats got to be in the top 3. One of my planes was a scale P51 with flaps retrackable landing gear on board starter and it was tough to fly wanted to snap roll as soon as it lifted off and I had over 2,000 bucks and about 1,000 hrs in the building of it and thats at 1984 prices ,but when you have 5 kids its one of those things that has to go so you can buy those braces

SWEEEEEEEET!

There was a video a while ago with an RC BUFF (B-52) that was also totally awesome.
(and a later video of the crash )

I tip my hat to those guys.
I know there's mucho man-hours tied up in one of those.

Thanks for the link.

From what I have heard the cost is about $10K per engine + $25K+ for the plane. YILES! You can buy a real plane for that! But for those guys is not about the cost.

Totally Kewl!
