The Ultimate Model Plane

The Ultimate Model Plane - an RC SR-71

This is a most amazing Remote Controlled [RC] model airplane.
Not only did they build its jet engines, but they included
retractable landing gear, and built it into a scale model of
the SR-71 that is good enough to fly. This SR-71 model was
built by some German Engineer RC enthusiasts, and this is
one nifty toy - and it sounds REAL!

Thought the group might enjoy that.

These model jet engines are real popular in Europe.
Even used to launch full size sail planes.
You need a long runway :)
Thrust is up to 240 pounds as I recall.
