I would have to agree with you!!!

 

[cvm4]

That "toy" is serious money!!! I bet the hardest part would be landing it.

 

[CWS]

I have to show this to my brother in law. He used to fly these. Awesome.

 

[MichiganM]

How freakin sweet is that?? Gotta be expensive though...but how cool!

 

[MithShrike]

Is this the jet?

 

[derek]

that is nice, I would hate to see the price tag

 

[Jwrussell]

Yeppers Mith. Model F14 Fighter Jet.

 

[caudio51]

Wow, that is bad ass!

 

[stogies&hoagies]

What kind of fuel would that use?

 

[Jwrussell]

I would assume gasoline Charlie. These have been around for quite some time (I remember drooling over smaller versions when I was a kid), but I've never seen video of one. Better know what you are doing! I'd hate to crash that sucker!

 

[sunivy]

Looks like you'd have to be a pilot just to fly it. Pretty cool.

 

[caudio51]

I would put a squirrel in that thing and see what happens

 

[Jwrussell]

It's a true turbine jet engine RC plane. They also make what are called "inducted fan" jets. Apparently the ones like in the video take quite a bit of skill to handle....mainly in landing! lol.

 

[caudio51]

I wonder what something like that would cost :dunno:

Should give you an idea...
My guess on the one in the picture? $25K
Oh yeah, and it sounds like you have to have a waiver from the association that controls RC airplanes just to fly these things at any of their locations (airstrips). I'm sure if you can afford the thing you can find somewhere to fly it outside of their purview, but only about .5% of their members have the waiver to fly these things.

 

[caudio51]

Damn, that is crazy!

 

[DocLogic77]

That was pretty sweet.

 

[cvm4]

So I guess that's a toy for the super rich. But then again, I'd like $5k is crazy for that plane.

 

[Jwrussell]

LOL, that'd just about cover the twin turbines that power it Cliff. :rofl:
