                    ^^Btw doesnt it remind you of the Crazy SU-27 Air Demo a couple of years ago where the one clipped the other by the cockpit region. Both crashed. Sadly. Pilots survived.

                      I guess people don't get that Russian aircraft have a tendency to crash. As Colin said, but here in the US a company just released a 777 RC plane. Its pretty sweet lookin.

                        Mr. Burns, you wouldnt have a photo of it. I can't find one on the vast internet.

                            How big is that thing? It almost looks like the size of a matchbox plane in that first pic.
