3 words fellas . . .
TOO MUCH TIME.
Although that is pretty damn amazing. And such manuverability at low speed. I bet its made of high impact foam or something.

dude I would like to have a little gas powerd car like one of those. I would probably just wind up blowing it up trying to enginer a turbo or nitros system for it. I would be the only person who could transform a harmless toy into a harmfull waste bucket of bad. I wanted to put a weed wacker engine on somthing like a skate board with nitros, but haven't goten the weed wacker engine yet .

actualy its called a road kill model, made out of a certain foam board thats laminated on both sides, used alot in house construction. very cheap to make them. they have no airfoil look like noithing a stuck with a big brushless motor. so the thrust ratio is like 4 to one, they hover at like a quarter throttle. they then get thrown big control surfaces with grossly large movements. i am huge into R/C planes, its expensive though. i got one of those little models like that one in the video, and those menuevers are pretty easy, but ive been flying for 8 years now. its fun and you can look cool just throwin inputs at it and seeing what happens. that was more coordinated though. its real impressive when you see the big 150CC gas models doing that stuff. i should find you all a video, rocks the crap out of that little one.

Man, that is one cool video!! Nice control of a gas powered model...

Here in Arizona (Mesa), we have a couple of strips that are soley for the purpose of models. My favorite that I ever saw was a B29 replica with 4 seperate engines. Sweet!! Mainly because my father was a B29 crew chief during WW2....

aw yes, if its the same B29 im thinking of it's pretty famous in the RC world, it was home made, featured in alot of magazines, and has soem 20ft or so wingspan, and then the guy does stunts with it, quite a spectecal.

that is the B-29. he gets around lol. i got to do seomthing similare at a local air show my friends uncle is like the shief instructor there adn an amazing scale builder and flyer, he made a foam replica of the space shuttle and he dropped that, but its only a glider no rocket, and i got to fly it around or glide it i should say and then land it , first landing was in the grass, second one was on the runway but the landing gear didnt deploy so i looked kinda goofy, good landings though no harm done, and it really does fly like the real shuttle, crappy and fast. not much glide capabilities. but they need a better airplane to launch it off of.
