Almost tru ... they AMA(Aero modelers Association) makes people restrict them to 190mph , but cause at those speeds .. if you lose control of the plane 9/10 the servos are not fast enuff to recover by the time you hit the ground ..

also of peopel use ducted fan engines in them they are aound $500 each , they use nitrous engines . unlike the engines in the video use desiel or karose(sp) .. a actually jet engine ( like the one in the video will run your around $5000 for a good one ... Thus why lot of people used ducted fan .. Ps I wouldn't by anything like this from Tower.. it would be better to go straight through the man.


That is a bad ass Jet BTW !
