The Hunter blasted over my house in hamilton at not much over 1000ft around 3pm thisrvo and boy was it moving. Must of had clearance to blast through the 250kt limit under FL10 because it was easily doing twice that. It rattled my windows thats for sure. I think I know what I'm doing on Sunday now.

Awesome Andrew, you've solved the riddle, came home and my wife said ...
"a remote controlled jet flew over Dinsdale and looked out of control and dangerously low"

I can see why one might have thought they saw a remote controlled jet because if you blinked, it was a dot in the sky. The noise it made however (though music to my ears) was not your tipical wine from a model jet. More like a thunderous roar!! rolleyes.gif
