The MOST EXPENSIVE radio control (RC) TURBINE JET I have EVER FILMED !

The MOST EXPENSIVE radio control (RC) TURBINE JET I have EVER FILMED !
At £25,000 (i.e. $35,000) this is probably the most expensive single engine RC turbine jet I have ever filmed in 10 years of uploading to YouTube. So many things contribute to the cost of a large project such as this CARF Models F-100. The kit (i.e. fuselage and wings), landing gear, brakes, engine ( e.g. Kingtech 260 and Interairco UAT\bubble trap) and fuel system, electronics (e.g. 13 35KG JR servos, Powerbox Royal and Jetronics air valves), light system ...and of course the immense time it takes to apply the scale detail and paint scheme (e.g. Tailormade decals). Owner and pilot Steve Johnson is very proud of this RC aircraft and flies it to perfection.

Filmed at the Classic Jets event with the Panasonic AG-UX180 4K pro camcorder by Dom Mitchell of 'Essential RC' YouTube channel.

Stunning aircraft, the pilot flew it beautifully.

Mind-boggling. That F-100 is completely believable, even in the close-up shots.

What a beautiful replica of the F100D Super Sabre jet fighter, radio controlled model!

[AngeliqueKaga]

That is a beautiful Jet I've ever seen

[bigpops]

It's a super detailed build. But, I think for £25K, I'd want a functional afterburner on there instead of an LED ring.

[RCHeliJet]

A lot of details and electronic and it looks fantastic, thanks Dom. Thumbs up.

F-100!!! Great plane and first of the Century Series

[tiemji]

It's amazing. It looks beautiful!

I saw one a few yrs ago in a magazine and it was at $70, 000. This one had sponsorship behind it. It was also a F-100. I’ve had $3000 into some ww2 arf’s and that was plenty.

excellent take off, nice slow see the attention to detail....
35k for an rc may seem like a lot....but where I live there are lots of guys who spend that much for a bass fishing boat.

[frankcrawford]

I like how he flies it as you said realistically.

[Jay-zciq]

Omer servo for this planes costs as much as one of my planes 😂 breath taking flight

[SportbikeUnitedRiderz]

Gorgeous Jet ! You're definitely a passionate pilot/owner.

[Marlon_J.]

Oh this F100D looks brilliant, nice job 👍

[tahustvedt]

I'm jealous of these guys who have runways big enough that they don't even have to rotate to take off. :)

[josipvrandecic]

All is great, but I would not have to fly with this expensive model (but whoever asks me...lol...), so Mr. Steve..all kudos.Dom thanks for filming and this info.

[MrBumbles]

think id buy a ultralight before that investment lol

[richschindler]

Beautiful plane, but at 35k I’d keep it in a glass display case. Never take it out. LOL.

[BIGGBULLxxx]

Wow 35k...now that's only for the rich I cannot even afford a 35 thousand dollar car.
