Check these out, they're planning to put them in production sometime soon hopefully.  Probably will be WICKED expensive.

Pretty cool.

I wish it used a ducted fan though...it would be more disctreet than the prop. Could be a big surprise out at the lake. :)

After looking around...I don't think it is coming to market. The free plans proved to be too easy to build for the target marketplace and I don't think there would have been any sales.

Hes not gonna like set up a full scale factory and sell it like how McDonald sell heart attacks. I do believe hes gonna make a few, and just sell it...no retail, no nothing...you send him money...he sends you the flying thingy ;D

AMAZING DESIGN... :o...!
I think the link should come with a health warning tho'....
It took me well over half and hour to complete the download on a 56k Modem... :'(...!!
I'm surprised how well the model stood up to all the rough handling it was subject to... ;)...!
The operators were very experienced in their use of the radio controllers....
...(perhaps the regulation base-ball cap and Bermuda shorts helps...)...?
LOL...!
I'll tell you one thing tho'....
You would definitely need to take out third-party insurance if there was the possibility of people or property being hit by the models......:-[...!

Paul.

(An excellent video)... ;)...!

It's a very cool boat, but not a very good plane... :P
