    NEW HobbyKing F4U Corsair

    Super little "almost ready to fly" warbird in this size just like it's predecessors in this 750mm series from HobbyKing. Assembly takes minutes and flies like a much larger model due to the clever ORX gyro stabiliser.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.
