Alaskan F-16C R/C

Saw this on another Forum I am on, an EXPENSIVE hobby to be certain! This bird hit 150mph between the 2:30 - 3:00 mark and he only went to half throttle or so during its flight!!!

Nice! I tried RC a few years back but the perspective thing messed with me too much and I was afraid of destroying $200 worth of wood and plastic. Now, if I could rig a nice Piper Cub with an 80" wingspan with a camera that looks over the dash that transmits to a pair of goggles so I could view it as if I was in the cockpit.....then I would try it again.

I flew models for quite a few years, bur now most of my R/C is now on a RealFlight simulator. I can really appreciate the effort that goes into building and flying an aircraft such as this. Thanks for the video.

I like flight sim games myself, also have some realtime experience with Piper Cherokees while working on a pilots license. R/C stuff can be cool I'm sure, but oh so costly if/when you rack them up. Especially the big ones like that one is!
