Ya, those are some slick planes. If you noticed before take-off they did a control surface check. The entire wing moves, these are not typical model planes. They're very light, and thus the power of the motor allows you to use the prop basically as if you were puling the plane on a string. Very light, very flexible airplanes. You can't fly a typical one in a gym.

That is an indoor 3some model. The control surfaces (ailerons, elevator, and rudder) are usually 75 percent of the wings and tail. They have a power to weight ratio of usually greater than 2 to 1. Very light and now they are putting reversing props on them. Banks and I have similar toys that we were buzzing around with at his 21st birthday for those that were there.

If I was thinking of purchasing something near the one that's on the video or the one's you and Bank have, what should I look for in brand/model? What are these called, stunt planes/freestyle?
