This has been posted before, but the new thing is that the scale model has made a maiden flight: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;embed&#x2F;XHFcLfSfJWQ" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;embed&#x2F;XHFcLfSfJWQ</a><p>If you are wondering why the video didn&#x27;t include the landing, the press release states it was a bit ruff. Probably means that it all but fully crashed.

Also, wouldn&#x27;t sitting in the back row of this feel like a roller coaster during turns?

Why does the video have turbine noises? AFAICT the model uses electric fans, and not RC model turbines.

I don&#x27;t even want to imagine the spin&#x2F;stall characteristics of that thing
