My brother's an R/C nut, jets and prop planes mostly, but he found this vid. This was built in the 70's!
My apologies if it's been posted before.

Looks like fun. It countersteers just like a full size bike. I like R/C but I don't want to get into it myself.

I'd like to see a video of your brother's jet. :D

Being a RC airplane fanatic i've always wanted to build one of these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNWfqVWC2KI

Or one of these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1F1OpRxY-k

That would get the neighbors talking......

Wayne, that Ironman concept is really cool, but I want the mower! :lol: What a great way to trim the top of a high tree.

I used to have an RC Harley, but my buddy ran it straight into a curb and broke the forks. I still have an RC dirt bike that I eventually gave to Son of Weldangrind. It has really decent suspension travel, and it can handle some rough stuff.

How's this Doc?
It's just one of them he has. They aren't really 'jets' as like....burning fuel....they have an internal electric motor inside a tunnel and run like a Jetski on electricity that turns like a dentist drill. Really zingin'.
This is at his 7 acres east of Marysville on HWY 20 toward Grass Valley.
I know you know where it is being PRK at heart. :D 8)

Neat little piece of history there. RC nut myself, though I tend more toward sailplanes, now.
Horrid riding position, though. You'd need pretzel legs... :lol:
