Just saw this post on IMGUR from the Jetpower Fair in Bad Neuenahr Ahrweiler, Germany, September, 2017.

Yeah, they're pretty mad. They have some serious speed about them. I think it would be difficult to control with the perspective changing all the time, as with all RC aircraft I imagine.

All i can say is AWESOME!! Thanks for the link. Han a ducted fan F-4 once but now they have real jet engines. R/C aircraft have come a long way since i was in it as a hobby. Thought it was expensive then but i'm sure it is out of my price range now ! Regards,Scott

Yeah, I think I read in one of the posts or comments that these F-104s cost around $15000 each. Really expensive if you crash one!
