    Head tracked DJI FPV formation electric gliders...the ultimate RC way to chill

    You don't need a flight controller but it helps with return to home, stabilisation in wind and real time telemetry.

    FMS Extra 330 2 metre/12S with head tracked DJI FPV

    Converted the pilot to a pan/tilt mechanism and installed the DJI FPV. Worked quite well on this first flight. A few adjustments to make before the next one...

    NEW Avios Extra 330 LX v2

    Prices are up on everything buddy. The Avios is a little bigger and I don't need AS3X and SAFE. Dislike Spektrum and moving away to Radiomaster TX16S which is much better value. Good luck though.

    BVM Bandit...slipperiest of turbine sport jets

    Not easy filming something this quick but I've had a fair bit of practice. Definitely over 200mph...may getting on for 250mph. Blink and it's gone.

    My RC Eagle Ornithopter got attacked by a Bird of Prey

    There I was just testing out the Go Go Bird Eagle Ornithopter for the first time when it got attacked by a Red Kite bird of prey. No harm done. I think it actually enjoyed the encounter. :D

    Avios Extra 330LX v2 on 5S

    5S on the stock ESC. Not recommended but I suspected I wouldn't be on full throttle for very long. Proven to be right. Worked fine although hovering in the cross wind was a bit like spinning a plate on a stick. 5S3000 lipo further back next time.

    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.

    Extreme Flight 74" Laser v2

    JAS-39 Gripen EDF jet. Will it hover ?

    So I retrofit the thrust vectoring unit and a gyro to this jet so could try out some flat spins and hovering...

    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.

    Flightline Spitfire converted to head tracked DJI FPV

    First flight of the Flightline Spitfire converted to head tracked DJI FPV. Awesome experience. Just need to use full flaps on landing next time ! :rolleyes:

    Lockheed F-104 Starfighter flies again

    I've filmed a few RC F-104s but this one has the best scheme of the lot. Looks amazing.
