Is this for real or a hoax? It seems like it would be impossible to control something doing 400mph like that. Plus if it lost control, it would be a pretty deadly missile. That being said, where can I buy one?

Wanna see something even faster without spending $4K on a turbine jet? Check out “dynamic soaring”, a phenomenon in which a glider uses the differential in wind speed between the windward and leeward sides of a ridge to accelerate to phenomenal speeds. Over the last few years pilots have kept increasing the speed and they are now approaching 500 mph. Check out this and other videos on YouTube.

I think the speed of an rc aircraft should scale to the size of the aircraft. This thing is to fast, just a blurr. What is fun about that?
