Amazing and unique twin Jet Central Mammoth turbine engine powered ME-262. A unique scratch built model.

This type of flying looks very realistic. I think there was one other video a couple of years ago with similar skills. Thanks for sharing.

And that landing was a corker.  Don't think I've seen a better touch down with an RC model.

At that size (and weight, obviously), it's no longer in the realm of a model, and much closer to your average ultralight - and its landing performance demonstrates that.

So why not go a bit bigger and leave the remote control on the ground?

What, and trust some other bugger to control it while you're hanging on??

That's what you do when you are flying with Airlines. Nev

That is true, Nev, but I think your average A320 pilot is a bit higher trained than Phil Bloggs who's crashed five RTF polystyrene electrics and has just, after six attempts, got his "bronze" rating by being able to do a loop and flick roll followed by the plane remaining in one piece after landing.
