That's awesome, but a little too pricey. I'd rather have this:

Yeah these mock planes and helicopters are not cheap and not cheap to replace broken parts but from what i was told they are a major blast to play with. Friends also told me to buy cheap versions to practice with the landing. Or else using the real thing hurts the pocket book when learning it.

I like dragonflies!! When i was in Utah for a bit i saw some of the biggest dragonflies i had ever seen. My husband was looking at little helicopters online the other day maybe he can find the link to them.. They were pretty cheap to.

those jets are so badass. i remember being like 10yrs old and being really into RC cars, had my RC10GT nitro car and all that and wanting a jet so bad, but about 3,000 bucks was a bit much for a 10yr old.

have you guys seen the b52 bomber with the like 16ft wingspan?? its massive. it has like 4 turbine motors on each wing. and a camera mounted in the bottom gunner pod.

The next stage of that is to build a scale model aircraft carrier and land the jets on the carrier. That would be even more badass.

I was thinking about this last night at work. Most of those models are 1/8th scale. Now, a carrier is generally 1050-ish ft long. So thats over 142 ft long. Where in the heck are you gonna put that? Still, put said model carrier in a lake, land a model jet on it. Badass.
