Actually has 8 "real turbines" at about $1500 each!Took over 2 years tobuild. It has a wing span of about 22 feet. Takes multiple pilots, as there
are so many things to control.

 Think they were nervous during the maiden flight?

 Unbelievable that someone would make this - all real turbines!   $12,000 just for the engines !

 Check out the movie link below to see the first flight.  AMAZING !!

NERTS !!!!!!!  Saw the crash.  Angry  They say you want to have as many landings as you do takeoffs.  There's nothing more useless then sky above you and runway behind you. Roll Eyes
