Anybody can fly a drone nowadays, but real skill is shown in the piloting of model airplanes. This $75k model airplane from Austria is as legit as it gets.

It features a 138″ wingspan, weighs 155 lbs., and is a 1:2.7 scale of the L-29 Delfin. Sick.

I wonder how much time it takes to learn to fly one of these bad boys?

From manufacturer’s website:
The Aero L-39 Albatros is a high-performance jet trainer aircraft developed in Czechoslovakia to meet requirements for a “C-39″ (C for cvičný – trainer) during the 1960s to replace the L-29 Delfín. It was the first of the second-generation jet trainers, and the first turbofan-powered trainer produced, and was later updated as the L-59 Super Albatros and as the L-139 (prototype L-39 with engine Garrett TFE731). The design is still produced in an evolved state as the L-159 ALCA, while more than 2,800 L-39s still serve with over 30 air forces around the world. The Albatros – the most widely used jet trainer in the world – is versatile, seeing duty in light-attack missions as well as in basic and advanced pilot training.”
