I thought this was pretty impressive. Sounds like a real jet too.

A guy I knew when I lived in Canada was into RC jets like this. He had two he'd built. I can't remember what the first one was, but IIRC, the second was an F-18 which was 7 feet long with a Thrust/Weight ratio over 1. He had something like $20k in that plane.

 

I went with him one time to a meet that the local club had at an old RCAF base and saw a whole bunch of guys fly them. They are unbelievable. Airspeeds of up to 200mph or something like that.

 

And every once in a while someone would crash theirs which was tragic to watch.
