The folks at Flitetest decided to add some extra power to an electric DH.100 Vampire RC plane by adding a butane afterburner. After some testing, and a bit of fire, they were able to make it fly.

Electric RC aircraft are not known for long ... numbers out of the water with a 10 hour 45 minute flight with an RC plane on battery power. Condensed video after the break. Flight stats right ...

How much flight time can I expect from an RC plane? Flight time is a plane-by-plane affair. Electric models depend on battery capacity, while gas-powered planes rely on fuel efficiency.
