Yes, the turning radius is quite something. It appears that the entire vertical stabilizer is a control surface.

Re. your other comment about the cardboard plane: Amazing. When I was 9 or so, my friends and me made an 'airplane' in the attic of the house where we lived. We flew it all over the world looking for treasure ;) It's a good thing we didn't see this video or for sure I wouldn't be writing this. That is absolutely amazing what that guy is doing there and to actually attempt to fly is bravery beyond the call of duty. I really hope he succeeds.

    Ah cool! I though it might not fit here and did not want to appear to be spamming on this post, so I deleted the comment.

    Here is the video in question for anyone curious:

      If that's not in the spirit of HN I don't know what would qualify. He's a little bit mad though :) I'm already antsy with a naked 7" spinning near me and he seems to have four 18" within touching distance.
