Pretty neat! I'll take one! :-) I wonder how easy it is to fly? I've heard a lot of people like ducted fan, but most scale replicas don't have enough wing surface for a stable RC flyer.

On a side note, here's my favorite RC plane (8 jet turbines just like a real Buff). Complete with heart-wrenching crash...


Although in this case, the RC pilot simulated the real pilot that crashed a Buff at Fairchild...

Here's that RC V22 in action.

So does the RC osprey fall out of the sky and kill a bunch of people like the real one?
Random stuff I say:
Women are like square roots, if they're under 17 you just have to do them in your head.

What would you be if you were attached to another object by an incline plane, wrapped helicly around an axis?
