    Jon Porter, Director of Microaces, gives us an introduction to his range of unique depron foam sheet constructed micro radio controlled historic model aircraft with the Bristol F.2b.

    Ford Trimotor "THE TIN GOOSE" 3 Engine Transport

    Sharing a video I shot of a unique scale aircraft I've not seen modelled before. The interior matched the excellent detail on the exterior and it was nicely flown on the day by its owner. This 1:6 scale Trimotor has a 4 metre wingspan and was designed and constructed by Joachim Damrath. The...

    Turbine jets that perform high risk hovering and 3D

    Rarely seen and that's no surprise because it is relatively high risk and that these jets typically cost $20K+. Not for the average RC pilot.

    North American B-25J Mitchell Medium Bomber (TopFlite RC)

    Great to see a B-25J Mitchell in a not so common scheme. Flown in great scale style by Bob at a fly-in last Spring. In the air against the sky you would think it was the real deal.

    British Airways Freewing AL37 RC twin 70mm EDF Airliner

    Takes about 1 hour to assemble and then quite a bit of effort to apply the custom scheme. A combination of automotive paint and decals. Flying this EDF jet is very easy compared to other RC jets. Flies like a trainer and slows down nicely for a flared landing.

    Emulating the RAF Red Arrows

    They don't just look like the real deal, they fly like them as well. Top skills !

    NEW Douglas A-1 Skyraider (H-King 800mm with ORX stabiliser)

    Takes a few minutes to assemble. Connect up your receiver. Charge a 3S800 pack and you are ready to go. Flight stabilisation system supports Beginner (no inverted) and Expert (stabilised only) modes. Low stall speed enabled me to fly it in quite a tight circuit and inverted flight was stable.

    2019 RC aircraft crash compilation

    Because it's much closer to the public who paid to get in to the show and watch the RC aircraft. If they did take off from the runway they wouldn't see anything unless the model is very large scale.

    Micro Douglas DC-3 Dakota (with retracts & lights)

    Another creation from depron wizard Jürgen Schönle. This Douglas DC-3 Dakota features retracts and navigation lights. 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...

    Spitfire crash after aborted landing approach

    Not an ideal landing approach but not bad either. Sometimes it's best to take the opportunity and not abort, go around, and aim for perfection. This is why... Bad luck. Fixable though I suspect.

    Giant Airbus A380 Airliner (Father and Son project)

    Filmed this moment at Airliner Treffen in Germany. Built by Father and Son. Think they were quite happy after this flight.

    MD Lockheed P-38 Lightning 1.2m P-38 Lightning

    Sent to us by Banggood to try out. It's a cheap kit but a little challenging to assemble, modifications needed but rewarding once got it in the air. [video]

    Yeah, unfortunately it is that easy.

    Formation take off disaster

    It really could not have gone more wrong :rolleyes: Lesson here is not to follow the other guy on take-off.
