Despite the fact that much of the video was taken up staring at a screen with no sign of a plane (it might have helped if I cleaned my monitor more often - there are half a dozen spots that kept distracting me!), I was glued to the show. I can't imagine how they ever managed to land it without a spectacular crash.

Wonder what the control range is for one of those? You would think you could get out of RF range in a hurry! Impressive!

The range used to be 1 1/2 miles on those things(20 yrs ago) so a 3 mile window. Yes, its fast, but too fast to have fun with! But he is a damn good flyer! And no landing gear...tough plane.
