    That is pretty cool. The airframe looks like a Skywalker X8. I've always liked that model. I searched the forums and found this guy made a VTOL version a while back but his didn't take of and land on it's back end:

    This thread has some photos that show how huge the insides are on this model. You can fit a full size DSLR with plenty of room to spare:

    That is cool! Good find. I'm surprised they could even run a turbine in a foamie. I surprised it doesn't melt.
