Read on. He had to demo that it was safe enough for a public exhibition at an air show.
He had it insured?!
I wonder if he gets the 15k back from the insurance company. Will he get the wife back, too?

Fifteen thousand quid is about $29,000! If I could afford that much for my full-size homebuilt, it'd be one hell of a plane.

RC aviation never ceases to amaze me. for whatever reason these guys feel the need to dump enormous amounts of money into things they cant even ride in. sometimes its the wife, or medical issues, or whatever.
it sure is cool though.

It sounds like he had it insured. With that kind of money, he could probably have a pretty good time.
