Shame the video isn't high res. Note the crosswind landing at the end.

My pleasure.
BTW, years ago, I thought I might get interested in RC jet a/c, that is until I found out what just one of those engines cost. I seem to recall something like either $3k or $6k US per. As marvelous a piece on engeneering as they may be, that was way outside my comfort level back then (hell it still is), so, can you imagine what those guys must have invested in that thing? I'd be terrified of flying it for fear of a total loss upon impact.
