Now THAT is a model ...
Discussion
Thats fantastic, I have seen (in a magazine) a large scale ducted fan AN225 (6 fan units) and that was impressive, but this is on another level.
I do wonder what I'd spend my money on if I didn't have a car to run and pay for
On the public Liability side of things I would imagine it is the same BMFA membership and insurance for any other model, though places you could actually fly something like that safely will be farely limited.

Counts as a Large Model over 20kg or in this case probably 80kg so subject to completely different rules as a normal model (under 7kg). Will have been inspected during build & certified as safe to fly & that certification carries on for the life of the model. Not sure if they are insured through BMFA or Large Model Association (LMA) without looking it up. More details are here:- http://www.largemodelassociation.com/index.html
Als been flying for years, owns a chain of model shops & is a well known display pilot,
