Hi marcus

I actually have that jet in my avatar. However it is a 4ft scale model which I fly by remote control and it does about 60 m.p.h.

Not quite as stunning as the real thing, but for a someone like me it is a lot of fun. Eddie has one too. I will be trying to fly it soon.

Thanks very much Brian, Phill, Mike, Frank and Richard: much appreciated for you kind assistance.

chenx the jet is quite good fun for $200 as long as you don't do a nose dive. Here is a cool video of it in action.
