That was really cool. He must be one heck of a pilot to have the plane survive 20 years.

Whoah. Sounds like a lawnmower.
Still, 200mph is 200 mph!

I think the sound is because it's a ramjet instead of a multistage turbine. They cost a lot less, but they make kind of a popping sound.

Actually, the original Ducted Fan's were nitro powered.
That's probably a .90 nitro motor in that one. The pipe in the exhaust and the smoke is a giveaway.
They were fast in the back in the 80's!

19k, you might have been thinking of this old jet???
None of these will spin an fan, but they produce thrust from combustion.
