    Thrust vectored turbine powered Aviation Design Rafale

    No doubt that adding thrust vectoring to delta wing aircraft makes them so much more agile and manoeuvrable as displayed here. Just needs 2:1 thrust to weight ratio to push out of those post-stall manoeuvres when needed.

    Jet turbine engine flameout at worst moment causes crash

    After some successful flying exploring the thrust vectoring capability of the Mephisto it was on approach into land on the 2nd flight of the day when the engine shutdown at the worst possible moment. The aircraft rapidly lost speed and despite the pilot reducing flap and pulling progressively...

    One inch lower and that would have been a disaster

    Skill and judgement or plain simple luck? I'll go with the former. He knows what he's doing.

    Eachine E180...first flight and boom...like a Pro

    For the budget conscious heli pilot here is the Eachine E180. Jason was quite impressed with this. I literally turned up at the flying field with it and all I had done was charge up the flight batteries and put AA batteries in the included transmitter. First flight and boom...he was throwing it...

    First attempt at close formation with head tracked DJI FPV Flightline Spitfire

    My buddy, Jason's first attempt at close formation flying. Annoyingly he did much better than I did on my first attempt !

    FMS A-10 converted to head tracked DJI FPV

    First flight of my FMS A-10 v2 converted to head tracked DJI FPV. The modified pilot figure doesn't quite give the pan/tilt I want but it does work quite well and does look more scale than a typical pan/tilt gimbal. Next time I'll be flying formation with some other RC jets...

    First post-lockdown turbine jet flight...felt so good

    Over 6 months since I've had my favourite jet in the air. I was a little nervous but it went perfectly.

    Eachine Mini F-16 Falcon (mod for better flight)

    I really enjoy trying out these all-in-the-box RC aeroplanes. Great way to try out the hobby before committing to some serious expense. This one needed a simple mod to make it fly much better. Well worth doing !

    The ultimate RC turbo-prop

    We can all dream buddy. Probably around £15K GBP to put one of these together especially with the amazing paintwork.
