    HobbyKing 1.2 Sky Sword EDF jet converted to turbine power

    Take a HobbyKing Sky Sword 1.2m ARF and drop a Jetcat P20 onto the EDF unit mounting rails in the back of the tail. Boom! Easy conversion. Scoots along nicely. Def quicker than the EDF version and obviously lands lighter. What's not to like? Simplest and easiest way to get into turbines on a budget.

    P-51 Mustang bombing and dog fight (with SFX!)

    After filming some RC aircraft I've often thought that it would be fun to add some special effects (SFX)...so I had a go. Considering the small amount of time invested I think it came out OK. What do you think?
