Once it started flying it looked perfectly real.

And it would be cool if you could load it up with water balloons and drop them on people.

But I think this massive plane, built by hobbyists out of their own pockets, is much more impressive and unique than something made by the aerospace industry.

I bet a small child could ride it. For heavens sake, don't make any fly-by's over an old persons home (espically in Europe). You'll give them flashbacks.

It's a fair bit bigger than that...

But this is pretty cool - because of its scale if it ever flew overhead I'd be so confused as to what I was seeing...

The AF MQ-9 Reaper carries bombs that are heavier than this RC plane. The Reaper weighs in at 10,000lbs fully loaded and is definately remote controlled.

That guy's going to lose a finger or two if he keeps starting the engines that way.

Very impressive flight and perfect landing. How do they transport this thing to and from the "airfield"?

Especially the landing.
Getting one of those planes up is difficult enough, but bringing it safely to the ground even more.

props dude!

So how much is one of these and do we need Air Traffic Control permission before flying the bugger?

I remember seing a vid a while back of a plane a similiar size fly up, turn then crash spectacularly into the ground in a ball of flames! The best bit was the crash site was like a real crash site, only at a 1:3 scale!
