Anyone seen the new commercial for a RC plane?

There is a commercial for an RC plane that is whipping around on the ground then takes off. Looks almost fake how mobile it is. My son almost died when he saw it. I cant find it anywhere on the web. ( I cant remember the 3 letters it went by, XPR, XPF, something like that) Anyone seen it?

I posted a thread with those sometime ago..... I still want one! They so rock... I use to have a website to a forum that the creator posted in... I wonder if he has ever started building or selling them or selling the plans?

I did happen to just catch part of an ad on Discovery. The model was called an Air Hog. Did not catch the web site for that specific model, but do a search for "Air Hog" RC and you will come up with a lot of sites for different models, including different versions of what was shown on the ad.

Probably the same one with a different color scheme. The ones on the ad didn't have any fancy decals or anything, just the front of each sponson was black with the rest of the model being white. They showed it "drifting" in a turn on a dirt track, jumping a concrete block wall, going from dirt to water to air.
