Default Horizon Hobby Secret Video #2

Well in the first video, i thought maybe some sort of newer high tech helicopter....
but after viewing this second secret vid... when there is mention of " runways being obsolete"
My brain told me..... i bet this is a Radio Controlled V-22 Osprey airplane........ ???? Perhaps?

I vote an EDF BAE Harrier that has VTOL capabilities. Or perhaps it's one of those Ospry-like things in Avatar that Horizon's making as a tie-in product.

I second that.


My opinion they need more gas/glow ARF Warbirds other than what they have already.

I found the sound the thing makes to be very annoying and the videos to be cheesy. In the second video with the "onboard" camera the aircraft was hovering then did an inplace roll. So, it is some sort of multi-rotor vehicle such as was mentioned seen in the movie Avitar. Either way, I am not going to be in line to get one, but I'm sure there will be a market for it. Based on the videos I would say they are targetting the 14 and younger croud.
