Prince of Dubai's Impressive RC Hangar

Literally, a hangar.  Jim Smith of 3D Hobby Shop sold him a plane, and as part of the deal was flown over for some lessons and a demo.  FedEx 2nd Day Air shipping cost? A cool $5k.  Lots of nifty pics and the rest of the story over at Giant Scale Forums.

My favorite bit?  Besides a foamy wing with (presumably) one's self-portrait, the fact that even a prince with his own hangar has to charge his batteries on some overloaded power strip!
