For those of us who always wanted to be a superhero, they've finally come up with the next best thing. Introducing the RC Superhero! The RC Superhero is essentially an RC airplane designed to look like a superhero streaking through the air. Check out these features:

"Flight characteristics: Great! This is due to the low weight to surface area and that it has a high wing like a Piper cub with a low center of gravity. In addition, he has plenty of vertical tail surfaces due to the double side bodies; which adds to the stability. He takes off by being thrown or by standing upright in a stand and lands on his belly skids.

Thrust: The RcSuperhero has about 6 pounds of thrust; this allows for vertical take off.

RcSuperhero Package Includes: laser-cut foam, substructure materials, control horns, a plywood motor mount, 2 sizes of rubber bands, carbon fiber fabric strands, two 4mm square arm spars and other various carbon fiber sizes, a picassa photo build album with captions, materials list, and e-support materials (directions and tech. info)."

Seriously, this is freaking AWESOME. Amateur filmmakers making that next great superhero flick? You now have a solution instead of guessing at green screen editing...

...but more importantly than that, screw with neighborhood kids and dogs! I know what I'm doing this summer! Mwuhahahaahahahah!!!
