    Moki 250cc radial powered 40% Sukhoi SU-31

    A rare but fantastic combination. Aerobatic RC aircraft rarely sound this good.

    Funfighter midair collision and destruction

    One of the best action slots at the recent Weston Park Model Airshow where I get the privilege of filming from the flightline alongside the pilots. Not great surprise that they do occasionally collide at those speeds!

    Giant 1:5 scale Dassault Rafale

    John, the Chairman of Elvington Model Flyers, demonstrates the beautiful 4.3 metre Libelle fitted with an electric ducted fan power system that self-propels it to altitude enabling him to hunt for lift from thermals to extend his flight duration using an audible variometer on the transmitter...

    Another FPV jet flight...pushing harder

    Flying the Avanti EDF sport jet again with the onboard telemetry...but pushing harder and lower. This was fun !

    FPV Avanti sport jet with onboard realtime telemetry display

    Very low latency with this DJI system makes it possible. Quite amazing considering the quality of the feed.

    FPV Avanti sport jet with onboard realtime telemetry display

    First flight of my head tracked DJI FPV Avanti EDF jet with our own pan/tilt and the 2" RCGauges realtime telemetry display. Predictably not great in bright sunlight in an open cockpit but subsequent to this video cloudy day and late afternoon/evening flights have been a lot better in terms of...

    Flapping wing Eagle ornithopter that actually works really well

    After getting attacked by a Red Kite last time out we returned hoping we would get a longer flight on the GoGo Bird Eagle. After some practice this is a really fun ornithopter to fly.

    Largest twin turbine RC Su-30 makes aggressive flight

    Beyond epic but with a price tag of £20K ready to fly I don't think I will be getting one anytime soon...

    Classic Boeing Stearman Model 75

    Competition flight from the BMFA Power Nationals Scale Event. A wide variety of aircraft competed but this was a very nice scratch build Boeing Stearman in the hands of a highly competent pilot. Great to watch.

    Indian Air Force Sukhoi Su-30 NATO:Flanker-C twin turbine and huge volumes of smoke

    Twin Jetcat 140 CARF Models SU-30 in action at BMFA Buckminster with huge volumes of smoke. Flown in the Indian Air Force Tri-colour scheme. Fantastic !

    Best lights I've seen on a large turbine jet...on 3 blink pattern

    So bright they would look equally good on a full size aircraft.

    Head tracked DJI FPV A-10 Warthog...first flight

    First flight of my twin 80mm electric ducted fan A-10 enhanced with head tracked DJI digital FPV. A challenging flight and lots learnt.

    Head tracked DJI FPV formation electric gliders...the ultimate RC way to chill

    You don't need a flight controller but it helps with return to home, stabilisation in wind and real time telemetry.

    FMS Extra 330 2 metre/12S with head tracked DJI FPV

    Converted the pilot to a pan/tilt mechanism and installed the DJI FPV. Worked quite well on this first flight. A few adjustments to make before the next one...

    NEW Avios Extra 330 LX v2

    Prices are up on everything buddy. The Avios is a little bigger and I don't need AS3X and SAFE. Dislike Spektrum and moving away to Radiomaster TX16S which is much better value. Good luck though.

    BVM Bandit...slipperiest of turbine sport jets

    Not easy filming something this quick but I've had a fair bit of practice. Definitely over 200mph...may getting on for 250mph. Blink and it's gone.

    My RC Eagle Ornithopter got attacked by a Bird of Prey

    There I was just testing out the Go Go Bird Eagle Ornithopter for the first time when it got attacked by a Red Kite bird of prey. No harm done. I think it actually enjoyed the encounter. :D

    Avios Extra 330LX v2 on 5S

    Thanks mate ! :)

    Avios Extra 330LX v2 on 5S

    5S on the stock ESC. Not recommended but I suspected I wouldn't be on full throttle for very long. Proven to be right. Worked fine although hovering in the cross wind was a bit like spinning a plate on a stick. 5S3000 lipo further back next time.
