Hard to tell.. Some Remote controlled aircraft scale models actually use turbines now.. But I cant imagine that a scale model would be flown at night and have running strobes.. I could be wrong

It's no doubt an interesting video...

That is a remote-controlled hobby plane. Powered by a turbine engine (23 lbs. thrust) and is approximately 4.5 ft in length/width. There is a R/C practice field about 2 miles from my home, my son and I go out and watch them alot, and I have personally seen this model airplane.

yeah my buddies into the RC planes and this is one I've seen too over by the RC field by my house. These guys spend serious money on these planes and I've seen them outfit them with all sorts of running lights. Others squak at the notion because it wastes battery power adds weight, or requires more circuitry and stuff.

Some of the planes though are really cool. He's got a little 2 1/2 foot electric that goes about 120MPH.
