That's what I'm talking about. I need a turbine powered model airplane that burns Jet-A and goes 200 mph, too.

I told you about the 1/4 scale F4 we saw crash out at Camp Parks in Dublin, right?

It was making an inverted pass down the runway at an all-jet R/C airshow when his radio went into fail-safe (i.e. the plane stopped recieving instructions from the transmitter). Usually fail-safe would allow the plane to circle in a slow climb waiting for the radio to make contact... but in a low altitude inverted pass, it results into a nice slow lawn-dart followed by a nice big fireball. :(

That's a $10,000 loss of communications. "Can you hear me now?"

Ouch. Those things look awsome, but it is a huge investment into something (like Scott said) can turn into a big heep of fire with the wrong movement.
