Major bucks. Well over a grand just for the transmitter. Redundant systems throughout, LOTS of servos, full suspension retracts, and another radio for the X1.
I sure didn't expect to see a rocket motor kick in on the X1. Just great.

There is something be said with 4 tuned engines all running at the same time... on the same plane! That sound is just amazing!

Man my grandpa worked for Rockwell and Boweing, I wish he would have done something like this. That is just a sweet vid you could say!

I didnt know this untill my dad watched the vid, but that is a re-anactment of the first time anyone went supper sonic. Very interisting.

That would be Chuck Yeager, the first man to break the sound barrier. He did it without telling anyone he had broken several ribs the day before by falling off his horse. He retired as a General. He still amazes me.

Absolutely, and if you watch the movie "The Right Stuff" they gave him a part as the bartender where the astronauts hung out. Just like in real life, he can't get that smile off his face. A true American hero.

It's a German annisette flavored cordial in a small dark green bottle. Mean green. It's like liquid licorice with alcohol.

I think this is the same video I posted a couple months ago in the R/c videos section.
