I bet for the money spent on that small RC Jet you could buy a nice used single engine plane. It looks cool but nothing I'd ever spend a ton of money on for sure.

Would be a close call between that one, and the B-52 a buncha guys in the UK built. The video ran through here over a year ago, and not long ago..she crashed! :(

Yeah, lets hope it doesn't meet the same fate that the B52 did! I could feel the sickness in the pit of the stomach of those guys when it went up in smoke.

a while back I was lookin to get a small plane to fly but I never could hunt down a good deal... or a gas powered chopper that I could strap a little cam to and take pics of town with.
