Since this will be the only way anyone will see a He-162 fly:
Interesting how the builder got around the laws banning the swastika in Germany.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
Slava Ukraini!

RC jet modeling is remarkably sophisticated these days...there are engines with 40+ pounds of thrust now. Early ones had turbine wheels adapted from automotive superchargers; don't know what they're doing now.
Not easy to stay within visual control range at those speeds.
I think the phantom circle in the middle distorted the swastika enough to get legal.
German Neo-Nazis solved the swastika problem by ising the Confedrate battle flag, instead.
Sweet!
Wicked fast little joker.
"German Neo-Nazis solved the swastika problem by using the Confederate battle flag, instead."
Fucking figures.
From what I read these plywood throw-away planes had ultra-sensitive controls and were hard as hell to fly, especially for the low-hour Hitler Youth students who were supposed to pilot it. Most losses were due to flameouts and glue delaminations but at least one HE 162 was shot down by a Hawker Typhoon on final approach-the standard allied anti-jet procedure. Eric Brown quite liked it. It was the fastest of the WWII jets.
