Radio controlled jet fighters reach incredible speeds

These turbine, real kerosene burning jet powered radio controlled jets classify as a hobby. However, they're not for the faint of heart or shallow pocketed hobbyist! Costing in the area of $10,000, they are not something you want to have a mishap with, but it happens....

There are many different types of jet models, from this double boom type tail, to full on fighter types. Kevin, one of these pilots, has also built and flown CT-114 Tudor models, which are replicas of the full scale aircraft the Canadian Snowbirds demonstration team fly in their routines. These aircraft sound just like the real fighters, sending chills down your spine when you are on the runway edge experiencing a low flyby nearing 200 MPH!
