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.

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......:-[...!
