Beautiful plane, shitty video. Too shaky, couldn´t watch it.

There are a lot of You Tube videos of RC planes running on turbine engines - pretty neat technology. Big investment of time and money!

That thing is an absolute triumph ! - bloody marvellous !

One thing I learnt - it's important to have your hat on while controlling that thing.
