    Durafly Slow Poke 1200mm (47.2in) PNF

    A variation on the timeless classic that is the 'Slow Poke'. From Durafly...this new version of this retro flier takes minutes to assemble from the small number of components in the box. For relaxed easy SLOW flying it's fantastic. Super slow fly-bys, tight turns and easy inverted flight all...

    Version 2 of the H-King Bonsai wing. Minor tweaks for FPV. Great little EPP wing that's almost indestructible as we found out when I gave my buddy Al the responsibility of the first flight. Never again !

    Young kid builds and flies best Magnus Effect plane

    I was quite amazed by this. I had never seen or even heard of a Magnus Effect plane until Finley showed up with what looked like an upside down lawn mower. He's a very articulate kid and talked me through the physics of how this thing works. It doesn't just work...it flies really well...and he...

    Learjet twin electric ducted fan jet

    360 onboard view from 250mph turbine jet (YOU control the view)

    No. It's showing you the whole 360 view. Should be about 1/3 of that in view. Can't explain why. I guess some browsers support it some don't. On my latest Chrome on Win10 on a desktop PC I am OK.

    360 onboard view from 250mph turbine jet (YOU control the view)

    If you don't see the type of view seen in the thumbnail then it's likely your browser is not fully 360 video capable. Maybe because you are not on the latest or you are using an old operating system such as Windows XP. Otherwise if you mean 'distorted' compared to a regular camera then yes, but...

    360 onboard view from 250mph turbine jet (YOU control the view)

    The first application of our new 360 camera. I attached it just behind the canopy of my turbine powered CARF Models UltraFlash sport jet. With its JetCat P160SX engine this jet will get to ~250mph. This camera allows you the viewer to change the field of view both horizontally and vertically by...

Here's a first compilation of some select clips from recent projects. For this season I've got a HD 360 camera that will enable the viewer to...

    QUANTUM biplane 90mm EDF sport jet

    Not often you will see a biplane jet. Just looks kinda weird...but it does fly well. Landing was a big disappointment. Not sure if it would be classified a crash. Will fly again soon!

    NEW Avios Grand Tundra (unbox and flight test video)

    At 1.7m wingspan this is one BIG foamie. Bigger is better and this Grand Tundra flies much like it's original 1.3m version from 2 years ago but in a BIGGER much more stable way. Same big Bush wheels, same big barn door flaps...but there are some awesome new enhancements. 6 part light system is...

    FLIGHT TEST: DJI / RYSE TELLO Drone (with 720P HD/5MP cam)

    I've flown quite a few small, palm size drones but this is the first where the control via App works perfectly and the stabilisation is superb. Match that with the 13 minute flight time and the integrated 720P HD video camera which can also take 5MP photots and I think DJI / RYSE have a winner...
