Eric, yes, that is amazing, only 1.5" (38mm) wingspan Fokker Triplane, controls rudder and electric motor control. Definitely an indoor flyer, easily lost if flown outside, plus winds, even a light breeze would be merciless.
I posted the video you found on RC Universe, Over 50's thread. That sparked my interest, so found another video a bit more practical at our level, a 4" (100mm) wingspan profile WW2 Zero electric RC in a new thread. Builder used a heated wire cutter, made foam sheets out of scrap packing Styrofoam, shows micro actuator for elevator, rather clever.
With the shortages of balsa, posting of K-Flex airfoils, I'm thinking that foam is the new balsa.
Thanks for posting that video, one would never thunk one could go so small with RC.
