Looked like something ejected in the slo-mo before it crashed.

I just thought that the plane was cool. Not the explosion, wel explosion cool too but it would suck if it was my plane.

But a turbine engine RC plane, that is awsome. Anyone know how much they go for? Or where to buy them?

Why?

A good turbine jet, depending on size, will cost anywhere from $5k to $50k, although I've seen some more expensive than that but only due to customization. That price is complete, not just the plane itself. You can get turbine engines for $600, bottom of the barrel.

sucks when you have a wing flutter at high speed, the outcome is always bad!

Just imagine how much in electronics was lost in that crash. At least 1 receiver, maybe 2. Planes that size may run 2 servos per control surface. So I would say that there could be 6-8 servos probably $100+ per servo. At least $1000 in electronics up in smoke.
