It's just an RC plane. I just wonder how it menuvers so well without any kind of wings. The propellers can't be THAT powerful.

Kirby's right, the slashdot story has a link to the website where you can buy the kit for this. It looks like the actual body of the plane is shaped like an airfoil, and the "push bar" in the back is actually the control surfaces...

Still I would love to see three of these flying in formation over an unknowing public...

Laughing at my spelling herts my feelings. Well laughing is fine actully, but posting about it is not.
