That's not a R/C, that's a fucking Drone! Holy shit balls is that thing big!

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Lol I love how it starts smoking like a real crash, too. Damn near need a license to fly that thing.

When the store runs out of Elmers Pro Wood Glue, this is what happens.

that was a badass r/c plane.. had to of cost a fortune. Can it reach Mach 2 like a real Concorde?

 

[Wild White Pony]

This ones bigger and it also crashed a number of years back.

 

[Ear Rak]

Failure? Or historical re-enactment of concorde's crashing

 

[slowchevy]

knowing how much time goes into r/c planes, let alone huge replicas, that sucks to watch.

About $15k... My cousin has one he's been building for years. Has twin 150cc engine and carbon fiber prop. He says the tips of the prop break the sound barrier at fill flight. He has $9k invested

are you shitting me

do they have insurance for these things? lol

i had a cheap RC helicopter a while back and wanted to buy a nicer one for 5-700, but at least with those you can kind of get a feel for it by flying low and slow. RC plane.....notsomuch

That's about 15k just in the two turbine engines that were likely totaled. Plus the actual plane and electronics? Fuck. That was a 20-25k day for someone.
