    Found these Waterproof Drones...didn't know they existed

    Walking around the Southampton International Boat Show after filming some large RC powerboats in action and I stumbled across the trade stand for Swellpro. A manufacturer of multirotor aircraft/drone for the marine industry. Didn't know waterproof drones existed! They can take off and land on...

    NEW Eachine F-16 EDF jet

    Our first flight with the new Eachine F-16 on a 3S1800 pack. Good turn of speed and flies fast OK although slow flight characteristics would be so much better with an all moving tailplane. Remaining capacity on this flight allowed us to up the second flight to nearly 4.5 minutes. Decent for an...

    Easy to fly long range FPV VTOL H-Wing

    So clever. Combines the ease of flying a drone with the efficiency of flight. Vertical take off and landing with one button used to transition to regular flight and back to hover again. No moving control surfaces. Roll and yaw achieved through differential thrust. Integrated FPV with real time...

    Giant scale Fieseler Fi 156 Storch

    Lou gives me some insight into the immense effort and skill that has gone into building this super scale replica of the Fieseler Storch. Some details I had not even spotted ! All other replicas don't get as close to the real thing as this model. Amazing detail.

    TBS Caipirinha FPV wing: Designed by FPVers for FPVers

    We've tested out a large number of wings supposedly designed for FPV. Just because you can fit all the gear in doesn't mean it will fly well...and most don't. This does ! Mainly because it's been designed by folks who are FPV enthusiasts, Team Blacksheep. We've got 3 more on the way so we can...

    The Ultimate EDF jet | 1.9M Sebart Avanti XS on 14S

    Turbine engine is still the better performance option for large jets such as the Avanti XS. The thrust is higher and the landing weight lower. So why did I choose to convert this large RC jet to EDF? Basically because there are fewer and fewer places to fly turbine powered aircraft, especially...

    First flight with a "Flight Controller" and it saved me

    When fixed wing FPV flying no doubt for me that installing a Flight Controller is a must-have. If only for the 'return to home' feature which mitigates loss of the FPV video feed while you are flying BUT you get so much more including in googles telemetry data and other cool features such as...

    New Integral turbine jet (looks like Stingray?!)

    Could just be me but this new jet from Tomahawk Aviation in Germany looks like it has been inspired by Gerry Anderson's Stingray (1970s TV)! Very unusual shape...but it does fly well.
