Taking RC planes (a bit to) seriously.

OK, if you like RC planes, and can spare 3/4 hour this is worth a look, so long as you can handle the Bond villain commentary accent. Anyway, it's crazy the level of detail that was achieved here, just check out the glass cockpit at 18:50!!!

....then, not satisfied with what he'd already achieved, old Vitaly decided he needed to improve it:

Incredible workmanship.

Absolutely amazing. They're completely nuts, but I love it.

those models are just amazing. i can't imagine the amount of time or cost that went into their production.

some superb pilots as well - i'd love to develop their skill, but imagine the time involved would be far far beyond 'hobby level'

huge respect for their attention to detail and their drive for perfection. a very enjoyable video- thank you for posting

What a brilliant video and hats off to the builder and flyer.

I've flown a lot of big prop, fast push jets and helicopters etc. at various shows around the UK in my youth but I'm not sure how I'd feel if that little beauty when into the ground!

Wow!,

That is amazing modelling. I love the illuminated panels in the cockpit.
