Well if you think the model is gorgeous you should see the real one!!! I know the owner and have seen him fly it, or should I say wring it out. Take off, straight up and then a split 'S' and back over the runway!!! The full size is incredible and a scale of 1 to 10 it's a 12! He sure does have a lot of fun with it, but heck the guy owns around 14 full size planes, like can you say very wealthy???
