I'm as awed now as I was when I first saw it months ago.
How much would such an airplane, together with it's R/C cost
approximately?

Hard to say, exactly. With transmitter, charger, spare batteries, from $500
to %1500.

The real trick is the person wiggling the control sticks. That kind of
skill? Priceless! g

'course mate

But why is it that *anything* aviation-related has to be so pricey?
Not for Americans' per-capita earnings, I imagine...

Which, the flying lawn mower or the more conventional-looking plane?

Personally, I'd like to see them flying together in formation.

"American's per capita earnings" ??

WTF does have to do with anything..? Sour grapes there "Mr Wannabee?"

By the way, did you happen to note the pilot and videographer's names at the
start of the video??? Benoit and Jurgen ... straight outta Compton, Yo...
Not.

You should not only not drink and drive, you shouldn't post either -
certainly not if you can't tell where the original apostrophe was.

well.....a ready to fly gas kit can be found for under $300, and you can
even find some non-aerobatic electric kits for under $100.

of course to get as skilled as the dancing plane you are gonna crash about
$1500 worth of those kits

the flying lawnmower will be a bit cheaper, as the lawnmower is not an
aerobatic kit, and "should" be less crash prone.

And will these thingeys get destroyed on a crash too or are they kindly
towards learners? I ask because where I am, I might just find one of
these in a store somewhere but will certainly not find an instructor
and I'll have to teach myself
