I wonder how hard it is to gage the airspeed without any instruments. Stalling on final would be a real bummer.

The 52 lives on!
The take-off, landing and taxi in are pretty cool! Just fast forward through the flying part.
Actually has 8 "real turbines" at about $1500 each!
Took over 2 years to build. It has a wing span of about 22 feet.
Takes multiple pilots, as there are so many things to control.
Think they are nervous during the maiden flight?
Unbelievable that someone would make this - all real turbines! Check out the movie link below to see the first flight.
Could be a UAV contender?
