Wanna blow away all your buddies with their brushless Mini Rios? Heck, this thing will blow away much bigger 'fish' too!

It has a Plettenberg electric ducted fan brushed motor. It has been heavily modified as the photos show. Watch the video. I made and installed turn fins after this video was made. It is more stable now. BUT, this thing is still nuts, and definitely NOT for a beginner! :D

Comes RTR including the lipo battery! $240 plus shipping.
