This is where i'm getting mine from http://www.sussex-model-centre.co.uk/Piranah-5421.htm

I think the ones in the video have engines, but these are motors! Apparently they are not for novices oh well

Lol when I first started watching I was like "so what its a boat". Wonder how easy it is to learn how to fly them like in that video though.

Always fancied one of these:

If you're not experienced with RC planes, I've got a tenner that says you smash it up within the first hour!

It looks like a copy of the ones in the Michael Connally video, still pretty cool though.

I'm gonna wait for when he starts selling the original ones, they look a bit more 'substantial' and have petrol engines.

I don't know what it cost all together, the missus won't tell me , I went for the powerful one. I do believe the kit comes with everything but radio gear so probably about £350 all in
