Yeah. Those things are awesome..and pretty expensive. Some can be amazingly fast...I dont even know how they control those things. They are out of sight in about 1 second.

Those jets are awsome. Whoever did the video editing should be shot, beaten, and killed.

It's not the plane itself thats expensive...it the parts that you break. Just dont crash it lol.

I think they can only fly for about 5-7 minutes.

5-7 min will do it for gas.

Those kits have a price ranging from 1g up to 5-6g for an 'almost ready to fly' (ARF).

The kits are cheap compared to the engines. You can get a Chinese model for about $1800. But the rest will set you back more than what you would spend on a turbo kit for a mustang. This also does not include the electronics to run it and all of the ground support equipment.

The final price is about 8 to 15 grand.
