Jet powered RC model planes - thrills and spills!

A Model jet on fire, turbines spinning at 195,000rpms, fire-extinguishers, awful landings and some beautiful models flown with great skill -- all from the November 2010 Jet meeting held in Tokoroa, New Zealand.

These are some miscellaneous clips from that weekend

would these work in space?the jets i mean, beacause theres no wind to go through the jet to propell it, i was just curious

[xjet]

@pro51251 No, jets are air-breathing engines that require oxygen from the air to burn their fuel. Rockets carry their own oxygen (or other reagent) and so they will work in the vacuum of space.

My goodness. I've never flown jets, but is there a reason for the bad landings? Any wind issues that day?

Awesome video though. Keep them coming :D

[xjet]

@RoboTekno Yes, there was a bit of a cross-wind and at our flying field, wind from that direction is often quite turbulent.

Am I the only one who watches these RC videos only for the fires?
