I dont even get how you can control that thing at those speeds, it would seem like you would lose track of where it was because its going so fast.

I know i want one but i don't think impaling someone with a r/c jet at 400mph would be a great look.

I'm not sure if I would lose or destroy it first. Probably after losing it, it would crash and be destroyed.

I use to fly RC airplanes. I just had a starter, front prop, high wing plane which was still enough to kill a person if you hit someone with it. They are pretty difficult to control. You have to have very good hand-eye coordination. I got to where I was able to fly solo, and then had to get out of the hobby because of other things going on in my life. They are a lot of fun, but can be pretty expensive. It was something that my father and I did together. He would build them, and I would inevitably crash them. Those jets are just crazy though. They are exceedingly difficult to fly. Big props to the kid that was controlling that jet.
