Leave it to the airlines to somehow make coach even smaller.

Very nice. An R/Cer from way back like myself can really appreciate the time and effort put into building and flying these things.

Beautiful!

Although I still want the ME-262 and big-arse F-16 I saw not too long ago...

just don't let the Bush Dynasty see that or they will start ape-shitting on how Model Airplanes could be used as terrorist weapons....

Sure, they can fly- but what if we stick dense, 250lb airline omelettes in them?

The Formby aerodrome nearby me has an annual model aircraft show where I saw a Concorde and Me-262 just like those in the videos. I was going to get into the whole R/C plane thing and then the helicopter idea took over but I never got around to doing so. It's not as expensive as it looks if you know where to go, but the gas turbine designs rather than petrol props or electric ducted fans do cost a bomb in fuel alone (though the engines are far simpler, if louder).

If you look closely in the picture where the plane is flying you can see little martini glasses in the cockpit.
