Cool R/C stuff

Just in case you haven't seen it yet...

Michael Swindell found this stalling airplane. Having the plane stall, balancing into the wind, mere feet away from your face is pretty damn cool. It's a good 9 minute drool. The music ain't bad either :)

If I hadn't taken this photo, I'd probably think it was a bad alcohol induced dream... ;-)
