5. Expensive, too.
Edited on Fri May-27-05 11:51 PM by Ready4Change
I think each one of those engines runs $5,000+. Further, because the planes such engines go into have very high wing loadings, they are really hard to fly. Or rather, very easy to wreck.

Lawn darting one of those at 200mph is a quick way to throw away $10,000.

6. Wow, Tex,
An incredible toy! I'll bet those guys are having a complete blast playing with it--if they can stop worrying about crashing it! Very impressive...

:hi:

7. Well, If I tried to fly it...
Let's just say, I would throw away 10,000 dollars in about 10 seconds.

8. I could beat that!
Probably wouldn't get off the ground, and I'd run it into a tree, or I'd fly it into something in about 5 seconds...I enjoy watching the video, though...Let someone else fly that incredible toy!

BTW, did your car get done today? I sure hope so!
