The nose cone came off, went through, and killed a spectator that was behind the fence.
Still understand the fastest r/c planes are gliders despite the development of r/c jet engines.

No where near as fast as the slope soaring guys, but this guy gets some crazy speed, especially considering it’s electric and built out of foam board!
