Here's one for Lyle's video collection.

16-foot (almost 5 meters) Airbus A380 Singapore Airlines RC plane being flown by the RC enthusiasts at Heli Jet RC in Switzerland. The video shows the model plane (1:15 scale) taking off from the runway, looking a lot of like a real jetliner in the sky as its flying around for a few minutes, and then gracefully landing. Its 10 liter tank of fuel is consumed by four JetCat turbines at a rate of 1.2 liters per minute. Find out more details about this awesome hobby and club on their homepage.

That was really cool, I almost expected little tiny people to emerge when it landed!

That's crazy!!!!
I got chills when the plane took off, but then realized that I had my legs crossed for a good hour or more and was losing the circulation in my legs. :hehe

Good thing there wasn't a crash lending.
