Made by Plantronics, the folks who make Bluetooth and wireless headsets. Apparently because they can. I included a shot of Mike holding it so that you could get a better idea of the size.

Here's a thread we let slip by unnoticed ...
Holy crap ... that IS small! It's a wonder it flies. I guess physics still apply. It's power to weight ratio is probably better than the original too.
Microelectronics and small batteries are getting incredibly cheap. The rectangle you see on the bottom of the plane is the battery. The plane is rudder only, variable throttle. The plane, battery and transmitter with built-in battery recharger/storage is 150 USD. They make several other models, too, and you can buy replacement parts.
If they have that sort of technology out in Rednecksville imagine what they have in the big cities!!!
Cool little plane!
Thanks, JAS, and I just noticed I got the company name wrong. It's Plantraco, just in case anyone's trying to find these.
