    Homemade rocket with explosive astronaut ejection

    All things considered it went quite well although it could so easily have been a disaster. The vertical launch rail holding up the rocket slightly restricted the launch but...it did get off the ground.

    Weir - W2 Autogyro

    A fantastic creation demonstrated at Old Warden Aerodrome at the ModelAir event and in the hands of this experienced pilot it really was a joy to capture it flying in the warm breeze. Richard the owner and pilot shared that this is a model of 1934 Weir - W2 at roughly 1:6 scale. The full size...

    NEW EFlite V1200 Racer. How fast on stock setup?

    The new EFlite V1200 Racer. It takes a huge 6S5000 pack despite only being 1.2 metres wingspan. Doesn't fly like it. Flies like a bullet.

    Two Spitfire formation flown from the cockpit

    I might not go back to flying traditional line of sight from the ground. This is getting addictive. We learnt a lot from this flight and are looking forward to our next sortie.

    Spitfire chasing an A-10 Warthog from cockpit

    Worked out better than expected. Only one minor collision but the relative speed was low so was just a bump !

    DJI FPV and Insta360 Go on Top Gun Freewing L-39 jet

    Amazing fun using the DJI FPV HD system to stay tight on his adversary. Pilot Gui in action with his Freewing L-39 tracking down an SU-30, a Skysword and a T-28 Trojan. Some of the onboard action captured using the Insta360 GO action camera. He's too close for missiles, I'm switching to guns!

    Flying the Freewing L39 jet from the cockpit head tracked

    My friend Gui has the DJI FPV camera cleverly integrated into the pilot figure with head tracking in his Freewing L39 EDF jet. FPV flying experience doesn't get any better than this.

    Flying the Avios Spitfire from the cockpit

    I've wanted to try this for a long time but the quality of video to FPV goggles hasn't been that great until the new DJI system arrived. 1080P at 60 frames per second to the goggles with low latency. Mind blowing. Enjoyed this first flight as wingman to my buddy James flying his Flightline Spitfire.

    Freewing Saab JAS-39 Gripen

    Very quick assembly but the transmitter setup for the elevons and canards was a little challenging. On first flight I failed to get this jet in the air with 6S6000 pack. CG too far forward. But with 6S5000 it jumped into the air. Trimmed out for roll quickly on first circuit then hit the deck...

    Operational winch on a Westland Wessex

    I thought this was quite a nice scale feature. Not seen it before so great to be able to film it in action. Don't think I would want to be the guy in the basket though ! :eek:

    I'm trying to coerce Jurgen into doing a video on that exact subject. Proving difficult but I will persist!

    Micro DC-3 Dakota featuring retracts, flap and lights

    The Michelangelo of Depron, Jürgen Schönle, is back with another of his amazing one off scratch built creations. These micro RC aircraft take significant effort to build. Jurgen told me that some of the individual parts can take 10 attempts to create because the 0.2mm depron material used is so...
