$12k for something that can be toothpicks with one wrong turn... ok, almost wants me to take back up model airplanes again.
Does anyone have a link on details? E.g., what scale is this model?

Wouldn't it be amazing to fit that plane with a bunch of video cameras and have real-life feed down to a monitor? Install some really long range remote controls, night vision...
