That's pretty cool. I'm sure that whoever is at the controller is being real careful. Must have cost some serious money to build. I wonder what those tiny jet engines are from? Small helicopter?

I have built & flown a many Rc planes...Mostly rebs of WII planes.... My $$$ is in mopar now.....But I still enjoy watching...It's a very expensive hobby.......

Looks like it could be real pricey... I have a friend into them, he spends some big bucks too, he spent more on his truck & trailer for his RC planes/hobby, than I spent on my 43' 2 car/race car trailer, back in the hay day mid 90's...LOL... His are mostly all prop driven, I don't think he has a turbine/jet powered RC Plane "yet", none are that big either, I think the biggest have like a 5'-6' wingspan a P-51 Mustang & a P-29 I think it is, with twin tails... sorry not a real knowledgeable plane guy & no photos or videos...

They're actual jet turbines specifically made for the hobby market. Here's a list of a few manufacturers:

Here's a similarly large sized B-52 that had a bad ending:
