    Flying the Avios Spitfire from the cockpit

    I've wanted to try this for a long time but the quality of video to FPV goggles hasn't been that great until the new DJI system arrived. 1080P at 60 frames per second to the goggles with low latency. Mind blowing. Enjoyed this first flight as wingman to my buddy James flying his Flightline Spitfire.

    Freewing Saab JAS-39 Gripen

    Very quick assembly but the transmitter setup for the elevons and canards was a little challenging. On first flight I failed to get this jet in the air with 6S6000 pack. CG too far forward. But with 6S5000 it jumped into the air. Trimmed out for roll quickly on first circuit then hit the deck...

    Operational winch on a Westland Wessex

    I thought this was quite a nice scale feature. Not seen it before so great to be able to film it in action. Don't think I would want to be the guy in the basket though ! :eek:

    Micro DC-3 Dakota featuring retracts, flap and lights

    The Michelangelo of Depron, Jürgen Schönle, is back with another of his amazing one off scratch built creations. 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 is so...

    Westland Wasp 1960s Anti-Submarine Helicopter

    Superb action of this unusual heli in action at a recent big scale event I attended. Nice detail on this one and flown well by its owner. The Westland Wasp was a small 1960s British turbine powered, shipboard anti-submarine helicopter. Produced by Westland Helicopters, it came from the same...

    Getting my 3D mojo back with the FMS Extra 330

    Been a while but this thing is definitely getting me there. Slots together in 5 minutes, drop your receiver in and two freshly charged 6S pack and then you're ready to prop hang with the best. Great fun !

    AJ Aircraft 73" Laser 230z Reflex

    +1 I have told him. We'll report back when he's touching the rudder on the deck. Nothing less is acceptable.

    My first de Havilland Tiger Moth

    I haven't flown a nitro powered model in 20+ years. I had always wanted a Tiger Moth and one came out for sale so grabbed it. Powered by a Laser 100 which have a great reputation for reliability and it's British made. Successful first flight and looking forward to getting it out again.

    Eachine Micro T-28 Trojan

    3rd in the Eachine 400mm Micro Warbird series is out. Preceeded by the P-51 Mustang and F4U Corsair. This flies just as well. I leave it in MIDD mode. EXPERT mode is too sensitive for most fingers...and contrary to what I say in the video you can pull loops and rolls in stabilised MIDD mode...

    X-Flight \ Supreme Hobby A320 twin 50mm EDF Airliner

    Second fright after a few repairs, modifications and a more rearward CG. Missing and poor hardware and bad servos have made this already expensive kit a little more than challenging.

    FMS ASW-17 2.5m powered glider

    My second flight so far more fun in aerobatics. No doubt will take it to the slope or try to catch some thermals soon.

    Large scale F-14 Tomcat (in-flight wing sweep)

    A rare but fantastic sight of a seriously big F-14 powered by two Kingtech K210 gas turbine engines. Watch as it starts-up, takes off and demonstrates the swing wing mechanism.
