From talking to the pilots that fly it in real life, it can be a pain to land, especially in a cross-wind. Should be interesting to see if they decide to RC it.

On the Italian forum where they posted this they said they should work in order to reduce the noise. In fact, when it passes the buzzing sound of the engines is quite loud and recognizable.

I can hear its noise every time it's on landing at Linate, even if the windows are closed.... :D
