I have seen him in person and he is absolutely amazing.

When I saw him he mowed the grass inverted rather than crashing at the end.
“Have nothing...” I think we’re into apples and oranges here. If you’re going to compare the two, keep in mind the RC ship can’t take the family camping, nor drop 11,000 golf balls (range balls, all) into a swimming pool. (PM me your address, and I’ll show you where the RC ships “have nothing” on a scale one. Do you like watermelon ??)

Seriously - I do know what you’re saying.
I’ve seen plenty of guys with the RC ships. Played with (and made “yard sales” with) a few myself. I’m nothing like any of those pros. They do incredible things with RC fling-wings. Amazing, to say the least. Keep in mind though, that they have some fancy gyros in those birds for a reason. I can’t say I’ve cut any grass with the real deal, but I’ve (knowingly) trimmed plenty of trees. Can you say: “TOOTH-PICKS !!”
