• Quick note - the problem with Youtube videos not embedding on the forum appears to have been fixed, thanks to ZiprHead. If you do still see problems let me know.

You MUST see this !!!!

That is kind of cool. I wonder if it has real jet engins?

I should note that the Predator is a bigger remote controlled airplane. But I suppose it is the biggest toy remote controlled airplane I've ever seen.

There's a video floating somewhere of a model F-14 with an actual jet engine on it. Pretty cool, too.

ETA: And here it is.

Where do I get one?

Actually, a model Concorde might be fun. I could fly it at 50 feet over the houses and everyone think that it's the real one returned flying at 3000 feet.
 
Misjudging the scale of model aircraft in flight is a good illustration of how hard it would be to describe a UFO accurately.
I once watched, in a quite large group of people, a model glider circling overhead.
Until it landed and a man picked it up, nobody in the group even considered that it might be anything other than a real sailplane.
 
There is a video circulating here (it is an advertisement for a bank, but that is another matter). It shows a man standing in a big square. In the background, a low-flying helicopter enters from the right. Only when it passes in front of him, do you realize, with a jolt, that it is a model plane.

There was also a B-52 with 8 $2000 jet engines in it. It looked really cool, but I heard somewhere that it crashed. There are pictures here http://ehowa.com/features/b52model.shtml but the site is somewhat NSFW.

It did, indeed. Quite realistic and scale, including the collumn of black smoke after impact. I'll try to look up a link when I get home and post it.
The little turbines are impressive. About the size of a large "Foster's" beer can, generate 35 lb of thrust, turning 100,000 rpm.
