    My first thought was, "You could probably fit a couple of toddlers in there with cute little pilot uniforms."

    It sounds like it's electric powered. As much as I love brushless motors, I think a model of that scale and quality would have deserved actual jet engines.

      Tyler Perry owns the airplane and the property. He has said that he does not fly turbines due to the fire risk in a crash. His property is surrounded by forest. If he were to cause a forest fire, the negative publicity could have a major impact on his career.

      AFAIK the only existing small jet engines for RC planes are much too small for this one.

        There are certainly turbines available that could power the model. He chooses not to.

    ...And here I am scouting for remote meadows to fly my 7 and 10 inch prop fpv drones...
