I wonder what Homeland Security's Take is?
That's a potentially very dangerous "toy."
I recall almost 30 years ago the feds forced Bert Rutan's aircraft company to stop production on the Bede-5 personal jet plane because of the potential risks with terrorists.
It's surprising to see something like this exists nowadays. It would be almost trivial for someone to load this thing up with explosives and steer it at a commercial or military jet with disastrous consequences.

Re: [video] Remote controlled F-14
That was a nice video, thanks - especially since the real F14s were built just up the road from me in Calverton.. I work with a few former Grumman employees that built them.. Back in the day, it was fun to just sit on the side of the road and watch them take them out for their test flights.. Now, we just have one of them mounted on the side of the road - truly an impressive plane to see
Thanks again!

I cannot recall the owner/pilot's name, but this was a beauty to see fly again, especially with the Mustang and the Eagle.

said by Dogwood :said by delt4 :Just the other day in Tampa, I saw an F-15 flying along side a p51 mustang fighter. If anyone in that area can confirm, that would be great. On April 3rd and 4th there was an airshow at MacDill AFB. During many of these airshows they have a Heritage Flight, which could be any number of older and modern warplanes flying together. A couple of years ago at the Dayton Beach Airshow they did a P-51D, F-86, and F-15C Heritage Flight, now that was cool. WOW...F-86...!

That is a prop plane, a real RC JET can easily cost $10,000.... I've known a guy who spent $20,000 on his RC Jet, and it was AMAZING how he flew the thing. It used real jet engines and was truly amazing.

I'll bet that plane cost more than the vehicle he hauled it in on! Would hate to get radio interference or the receiver batteries go dead about the time you put it into a dive...  |

The jet is awesome! From what I could see, the wings are fixed on it...the interior of the area where the owner flicked the starter didn't show any motors to adjust the wings...then again, the motors could be closer to the cockpit.
I doubt it though.
