Yeah, not only are they insanely hard to build, requireing custom build everything (though the engines are made at a turbine manufacturing company). These planse take hundreds of man-hours to design build and complete... all custom, hand made for the most part, replicas of real planes.

They use remote planes like this in movies all the time (like Top Gun).

The largest jet engine model plane I have ever seen was a HUGE B-52 with a 23-FOOT wingspan... sadly, it crashed on it's first day out.

Here's a site I found with technical discriptions and some video of it... gosh but it as big.

Old Aerospace guys with time on their hands... I guess.
