RC SR71 - sweet.

I'd imagine that guy's been flying RC planes for a good long while, and that $10k is not a deal breaker for him. $10k is a decent sized investment for anyone though, so I doubt that his grandkids will take the controls, ever.[/QUOTE]

I'm betting that one is closer to $20k, half of that is the turbines. Go to Benbrook and see some jets, they are pretty bad ass. Not in my affordable future though, I'll stick to fast prop planes.

I don't doubt it, the plane sounds like a full-sized jet in the video. I still think that the 20 or 30k that the plane cost him is still "fun" money. Anyone willing to spend even 10% of their net worth on something that's a hobby, and could disappear in a crash, needs to re-evaluate their priorities.
