For fun...you need to see this.

The academy has a model engineering club and they have tons of planes. Unfortunately none of them are turbine powered, just prop. They do have some pretty huge ones. It is pretty cool what they can do with them too, I have seen them hover a plane with a 6ft wingspan and pull g's that would be impossible with a pilot. They do some amazing stuff out on the athletic fields.

Later,

If the link doesn't work, go to Youtube and search "SR71" "model"

If it only had an onboard camera, it would qualify as a drone. It begs the question: as drone technology gets less expensive and commonplace, Homeland Security will have to register buyers at point of sale and regulate them. Sorry to get all serious. Great video.:thumb:
