The fact that this flying, fire-breathing dragon is a remote-controlled flying, fire-breathing dragon shouldn't make this achievement any less impressive. The "Mythical Beast" is 7.5 feet long, has a 9-foot wingspan, light-up eyes, a swivelling head, and yes, it both flies and shoots fire. The only thing that isn't awesome about it is that it's not for sale, but was made by Rick Hamel to show off at the 2012 Toledo R/C Show and make us all desperately want one. The video above just gives a good look at the "Beast;" to see videos of it in flight and breathing fire, hit the jump. Thanks to Chris T. for the tip. (Via Geekologie)

Watch some ultraconservative religious group commission this guy to make a RC flying angel... With built in speakers to blast out the usual five hour long sermons. Or some casino owners hiring him to make flying versions of their company mascots/logos. And here's hoping he'll agree to do these in airhogs versions.
Nope, it will get made up to look like an American Eagle with a mounted gun in one claw so that "Minutemen" all along the border can chase away the Mexiricans.
You know, Milhouse is so uncool that even if he had a fire-breathing dragon, he'd still go on about how perfectly level flight is the apex of model flight.
And for the trolls, don't forget to shout "Joor-Zah-Frul" before you take aim with an air rifle.
While it couldn't sneak up on you (it's loud as fuck), it is also cool as fuck and if he can get it to land on the shoulder of a remote controlled girl with white hair...you're going to have a lot of commisions to remake it.
That's amazing. I want an army of these things.
Also, I think the next logical step is to mount speakers on there somewhere to make dragon noises.
"Hello police? You're not going to believe this, but there's a dragon flying over my house. No I'm not on drugs."
"What? Fine. Yes, I'm on drugs. Ugh...just get over here before the dragon flies off and you think I'm just joking!"
"Yeah Right! We can't sent Saint George so we'll send some guys over to pick you up and hide you in a nice safe padded cell... haha... WHA TH... HELL! THERE REALLY IS A DRAGON FLYING IN THE SKY! CALL JAPAN AND GET THE GODZILLA SQUAD!"
