Pretty sure that's against AMA roolz - he flys it autonomously. At 1500 Meters, no less. DB would have a fit, and probably a surprise BM.

Hi mongo

It must be model related. Sandy Frank posted this link on the D VIII list. I assume it is the same fellow.

Mr. Rossi needs to link up with the Wheelchair dude, then they can do a team entry for the Darwin Award contest.

Of coarse, we all hope they have their Turbine Waiver.

#1 , you do not need a turbine waiver to operate a rutbine jet. It is only necessary to have a waiver to fly at an AMA sanctioned event , or AMA afiliated field. I fly at non-AMA sites without a waiver. The AMA is not the FAA of the model comunity, all the AMA is, is an insurance company and a lobby group ..

#2 the dude is flying in France ... no AMA there ...

Don't confuse them with details.

I agree with P51. What I'd like to see is for him to take off from a running start vs jumping out of a plane!
