The coolest thing I’ve ever seen in a long long time…I’ve gotta build me one of these in the future! [:p]
And here’s the website:

Wow! And they don’t even sound nervous when they fire that complex (probably balsa or something) model into the air! I certainly would be, lol.
that was awsome
Cool vid! Thanks!
That’s probably not too far off from what the real deal looked like, too!
Shhuuuuffftttt…and away!
cool, where’s sean?, i’m sure he’ll appreciate this preview of whats about to happen to his phantom.

That was totally awesome. I can think of a lot of things to use that motor on, my wifes little dog comes to mind[}:)]
Guys, that is the type of project that should humble us all.
Heh…thought you all might’ve liked that…[:D]
That was a 1/6 scale model in the movie - and I’ve found the website that sells that particular kit. It was originally designed for a petrol engine tho. I’ve seen another r/c Komet with a gas turbine engine!!
Anyhow, I’ve also found a place here in the UK that sells a 1/23 scale model (40cm 16" wingspan) Komet as a free flying balsawood kit and they sell the rocket motors to go with it! Now, I wonder if this kit can be modded to r/c…?
With current range of micro servos, I bet it could.
That was amazing…I wonder how hard it would be to control something like that…

Yeah, that’s pretty cool.
Wow thanks for sharing that clip… that’s awesome. I have to agree… that’s probably as close to seeing the real thing as we’ll ever get.
