Bet he'd be pi55ed of if it took a dive, there are a few thousand hours in that.

That must guzzle gas, 4 turbines ain't gonna be cheap to run.

Another hobby I don't have time for, RC planes.

I used to do a lot of R/C flying but I have to say that one is a bit out of my class

Looks very impressive and must have cost a bomb!

Very very impressive, but also strikes me as remarkably dangerous!

Well I know from my friends Jet Powered RC Helicopter that there was a quoted figure of burning 100 litres of air a second, and usually about 2 litres of parafin/keroscene in 8-15 minutes.

However parafin/keroscene is significantly cheaper then Glow fuel
