R/C plane flying..
you know, when I was a kid, I had a Cox fly by wire model plane. Crashed it into a cornfield within five minutes and it never flew again. This kid's flying is crazy.

I am at work so I can not see the video, but I have seen some crazy stuff...people flying planes like helicopters...crazy crazy stuff.
I have always wanted to get a remote control airplane.

That guy is amazing. Always wanted to do this, but didn't want to "wreck" a couple hundred dollars smashing it into the ground.

Re: R/C plane flying..
R/C anything is really pretty cool stuff. Once you get into it, get a few wrecks under your belt it actually becomes pretty routine.
That guy is corporate sponsored. Meaning that they supply him with the toys and actually pay him to fly. I raced R/C cars (NASCAR style) competitively for about 12 years. Imagine 12 to 16 cars hitting 40/50 mph on a high speed high banked 400 foot track racing door to door and bumper to bumper. And yes it does get expensive. Thought nothing of it to spend a $100 bucks to gain a few 10ths of second on the track. My race car as it sits has about $2600 in parts in it. Teamed up with a friend to form our own little race team. He would mount, cut and stagger our tires for race days (three sets each) and I would handle the motors - 4 each for race day. Heck I've still got my com cutter and dyno in the shop somewhere. Lot of fun times. Ron |

Re: R/C plane flying..
There are a couple RC plane fields around my area. Every once in a while I'll go over and just watch them fly. It is amazing to watch them just throw it around.
I will just keep my RCing to my sailboat and SuperGator boat!! When they crash, at least it's in water so not much damage
