wow,.. that is friggin' nifty! :up: I don't want one, I'd just crash it. (not on purpose) ..or I'd run it out of gas in mid flight,.. same effect. :rolleyes:
15-20K for something that can easily crash & burn? yikes..

That's cool but I agree with ckadiddle....
I live near the HQ of Hobby Lobby (http://www.hobby-lobby.com/), a mail-order RC airplane shop, and as luck would have it ... spend a lot of time out at the same local airstrip.
These guys get together every Wednesday to fly, (http://www.hobby-lobby.com/flying_photos.htm) which is cool cause we get to see a lot of experimental stuff and their own "personal" planes, 'copters, etc. These guys are pros and I can see them flying something like that scale Tomcat, but most folks will want to start a little smaller. Especially, since you really don't want to lawn-dart one of those big babies.
Here's a favorites of mine ... And yes, they've even had law enforcement out to clock a few models with radar guns for fun.
"Highlander" ARF Hotliner Sailplane (http://www.hobby-lobby.com/highlander.htm)
Highlander will dive past you at almost 100 mph and do aerobatics that’ll frighten you.
If you check out the flying field pictures from 2003, you can even see me out there with my first RC plane.
