i want one lol

he needs to figure out how to put a wireless camera on there. I have no idea how he keeps it from crashing

 

[Saleen313]

I'd lose that thing. You'd have to strap some bino's to my face so I could see the damn thing while flying.

That is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time, great post :beer:

i dont understand how it is controllable

DAMM that is sweet !!!

 

[CobraBob]

I trying to understand how he controls it, too. It's insanely fast and I'd imagine very easy to lose sight of it. I wouldn't want to imagine that thing breaking loose from the control and hitting something or someone. Wow!

thats crazy.

They are actually not that hard to control. You don't just jump into jets when first getting into rc planes. You start small with nitro/electric etc.... Its like riding a bike after that. That jet is small, but the camera intensifies how hard it is to see....it's not that hard to see, it's just fast. You must be on top of the sticks to stay up with the speed.

Here is a 1/4 scale (i believe) bandit crash at a show a few years ago. Kiss 7-10 grand goodbye.

i wonder how fast it goes? the scale speed is very fast

 

[Espo]

Thats bad a$$!

I bought a few electric and nitro planes in the past, and I had to give up the hobby because I couldn't control those things, how in the heck do you control these turbine powered RC planes?

Damn that looked gnarly. :rockon:

Once I heard the foreign language, I felt better.

The FAA or some other Fed governing body actually covers these kinds of RC models. If I am remembering correctly, speeds are actually capped for US flights at 200MPH. You also can only fly at designated zones for it, and these zones have to be a certain distance away from airports and buildings. You can only fly it during registered events, and there will be a failsafe transmitter (RC control unit) held by an event representative. The pilot also cannot display signs of intoxication, in order to be allowed to fly.

These are just some of the rules I remember reading about, in regards to turbine RC jets. It is VERY easy to build a destructive missile out of these things. I could be wrong about what I remember, since I got most of them from discussions in different hobbyist forums, but I think that if these rules are real, I can't say I disagree with them.

hole crap that is crazy! The king of rc planes?

 

[Gallows]

What a badass plane but that's a lot of coin to play with.

 

[Swannyvill]

wth, that thing is stupid fast, i couldn't even see it half the time.

Holy jet engines batman
