Who said RC planes are for kids?

Man, that looked like it could kill someone if he/she was dumb enough to stand in the way of that plane.

Holy pomegranate! That's insane fast! How on earth does he control that plane that well with those speeds?

I guess this really re-defines "The Flying Dutchman"!!!

Dutch people are sooooo awesome! :+)

Two things.

How the f'uck did he control something he couldn't see?
How the f'uck did he land it?

Imagine if it accidentally hits a bird.


Ouch...

That would definitely pierce a person and kill him/her if it crashed with someone.
Also, through the video I thought "Ohhhhhh doppler effect" every time it went by.

What is the use of this?
Racing real jets?

Or scaring the pomegranate out of the enemy in a war.

What's wrong with the older guys hands

That's over the top.

Awesome. I had been avoiding this thread the few times I saw it pop up because I expected it to be lame/underwhelming. But wow...blew my mind. I can't imagine the feeling of controlling that thing. Thanks for sharing.

I need one of those.

Yeah, I need to use the preview function. ;_;

It would actually be useful if you stick bomb to it xd

Like some others have already said, I'm confused as to how this plane is controlled when flying at those speeds. I'm under the impression that there may be a camera that feeds video to the controller; I wouldn't spend that much time and money on building something like that only to have myself guess on what direction to turn, etc.

I think there are some other vidoes on youtube and probably some google searches on it. It is quite amazing though

Video is only missing one thing...
