Jim and Bob,  Watch this one with 8 genuine Turbines, 
which run about $3500 to $4000 each and notice the
guy walk to the back of the plane and compare the 
height of the rudder to his height. The span has to be
over 30 ft and no telling how much the cost of the
plane ends up to be. It's well out of the toy range.

      This is a really neat model airplane -- truly amazing!  Make sure you 
click on the 
      Movie link at the top of the page to watch the movie of it in flight.  
       Actually has 8 "real turbines" at about $1500 each!  Took over 2 years 
to 
      Build. It has a wing span of about 22 feet. Takes multiple pilots, as 
there 
      Are so many things to control.  
      Think they were nervous during the maiden flight?  
       Unbelievable that someone would make this - all real turbines!   $12,000 
just for the engines !  
      Check out the movie link below to see the first flight.  AMAZING !!
