    NEW PRODUCT: ZOHD Dart Forward Swept Wing

    Some might recall the 'Alienator' forward swept wing RC aeroplane from about 15 years ago. I had one and never got it flying. I feel redeemed having assembled this awesome wing in a few minutes and it flew brilliantly. Great fun on a Winters day. [video]

    Top 10 Biggest RC Airplanes (UltraHD/4K resolution)

    2017 was a good year for giant scale model aircraft. Travelling around the country to several shows I got the opportunity to film some of these monsters in action.

    Essential RC Crash, Burn, Explode, Speed and Thrill Compilation 2017

    It's been a great year for RC. Was difficult deciding what clips to pull into my annual crash and thrill action compilation. Mostly likely I'll make another because there were so many! But here are my best bits. Looking forward to 2018 already.

    NEW HobbyKing BIXLER 3 Cheap Trainer/FPV platform

    Got my hands on the new version of the Bixler 3 a few weeks back ahead of its launch yesterday (6th December). Minutes to put together. Apparent changes from the original are larger space up front for bigger lipos, so more flight time. Re-designed for FPV. It comes with a pre-assembled ply mount...

    ZOHD Nano Talon...it's also a FANTASTIC RC trainer plane with beginner gyro mode

    Second outing with the ZOHD Nano Talon....this time only low wind as opposed to the storm conditions I flew in last time. Allowed me to play with the 'beginner' stabilisation/gyro mode. Really surprised me how easy it made it to fly this plane. If you were a first time RC pilot you would have NO...

    Twin Engined Agentine Pucará Ground-Attacker

    Always great to see scale models of full size aircraft I've not seen before. This Agentine FMA IA 58 Pucará being a twin was especially interesting. Considering the weather it flew really well. [video]

    Giant XXL PIPER J-3 CUB radio controlled American light aircraft

    1:3 scale Piper J-3 Cub flown at the Large Model Association Show at RAF Cosford. Scratch built and without the context of the owner in the background you would think it was the real full size aircraft. Amazing.

    Giant 1:3 scale Spitfire at RAF Cosford, UK

    ZOHD Nano Talon FPV Racer

    Doesn't get much easier than this. Push the wings onto the fuselage and the elevons, plug in your receiver and go. Dropped in a 3S1300 pack and put a RunCam2 on the nose to balance. Fortunately is was blowing a gale outside so really did test out the included flight stabilisation. Looking...

    World's Largest RC Pitts Python biplane (85% scale)

    Engine is same as far as I know. I think Gregg has modified the exhaust system. So that would probably account for the change in engine noise. ;)
