It wouldn’t take much to make that a very dangerous toy. With that speed and inertia and just a small shaped charge, you’d have a flying bomb. I am surprised that the ATF isn’t monitoring those things.
Doesn’t take much to see that danger in that thing.
Unfreeking believable. voices sounded German - can’t believe a jet engine is available like this.
is this real?
it looks more like an RC timed to coincide with a full size demo
the sounds coming form the RC do not fit the engine size or the sounds made when it was at takeoff
that said, it is still impressive to fly something moving even that fast
Yep, this “free flight” capability is available.
Check this one out. F14 Tomcat with DUAL jet engines. And full take off and landing. They have had the “jetcat” engines for about 8 years now. I just could never afford the 6 to 7k entry fee for the small ones.

Jet engines for model planes will more than likely be outlawed soon.
ya...../s
That is beyond way cool!The hours to build that have to be in the thousands and it wouldnt take but a second to end it in a million pieces.The guy is a damn good no great stick.
There are all sizes of those engines. they go from a grand or so to big grands.
On youtube there is a guy flying a model A380 with 4 big ones on it.
Why all that $$$ to build an A380 i dunno.
That's what I was wondering...what kind of engine is it?
Damn !!! Where can I get one ??? How much $$$ ???
I want one!
