You wouldn’t want to take your eyes off it, that’s for sure!

wow!

shit though - seems all he can do is back & forth. I'd rather have a slower plane that I could fly around, doing some different things

Blimey! Still slower than the dynamic soaring RC gliders but it's getting there. 😯

Not sure, but I’d guess he’s restricted by line-of-sight and rules regarding high-speed model aircraft.
Just keeping the bloody thing in sight would be hard enough, let alone having reactions fast enough to cope with those sort of speeds.
There are plenty of turbine-powered scale models that are slower and can do aerobatics, but there have always been high-performance model planes, especially control-line ones, which are [i]really[/i] boring, they just go round and round.

CooWee, got to love the engineering concept of it for sure.

Have to assume you need some kinda license to fly something like this, like a drone yeah ?

Yeah, me too!
Maybe he films golf competitions for a living...

That may be the case, the opportunity for unrecoverable shit to happen very, [i]very[/i] quickly is very high indeed!

I don't think I could get tired of listening to the noise that thing makes zooming past. Pretty sure I'd drive everyone else crazy with it though.

Was that a conveyor belt that he launched it from?
