    Perfect day for big radial warbirds

    Perfect weather at RAF Cosford for some low flying P47s. Doesn't get any better than this.

    XK X420 VTOL Fighter (better but strangely cheaper than the X520)

    Comes with a simpler radio but basically the same looking airframe except good prop guards. Genuinely flies much better than the 520. Lots smoother. Sells for half the price of the 520 as well. 5 years ago I would have said this would cost hundreds but seems VTOL is main stream now, prop driven...

    Vickers VC-10 including onboard 360 video

    Always fantastic to see this model flying but this time got the chance to put my Insta360 ONE panoramic camera to good use.

    Two turbine A-10 Tank Busters including onboard 360 video

    Rare treat to see 2 A-10s in the air at an RC show. And to get some onboard video was something I've aspired to get for years.

    Avios Spitfire MkVb (fast/slow passes and scale aerobatics)

    Some really nice scale details on this Spitfire. Flap indicators, cockpit detail, split flaps and hidden control surface linkages to name a few. Vid of my first flight. Immediate confidence to strafe the strip with fast passes but mixed in slow passes to show it's broad ability...and some scale...

    Avios C-130 Hercules with parachute drop

    Some aerobatics on this latest flight ending with some tight low level flying and a short landing. Awesome aircraft.

    Avios C-130 Hercules with parachute drop

    Exploring the slow flight characteristics of this model after a lot of feedback suggesting it 'flies like a rocket'. Just proves how wrong folks can be!

    Avios C-130 Hercules with parachute drop

    Superb re-creation of the C-130 with scale retractable landing gear and synchronised doors, flaps, operational cargo bay door and high intensity lights all round. Action from my first two flights after showing the kit itself before assembly.

    Durafly Bonanza V-Tail 1940’s civilian passenger plane

    On maiden flight used too large a flight battery but on this second flight the 3S1500 transformed it into an awesome flyer.

    New Runcam 3S action cam on the 1.7m Freewing A-10 jet

    Tried out the new Runcam 3S on the Freewing A-10. Multiple angles but the rear view showing the fans spinning is coolest bit of onboard I have shot in a long time.

    Freewing BAe RED ARROWS Hawk EDF Jet smashes into a tree

    Great to see 3 of these awesome little EDF jets go up together. The temptation to fly through the gap in the trees was too great for the pilots. They nearly all made it through. Nearly. :)

    Turbine powered Rafale with Flare Counter-Measures at HobbyKing UK Live

    Mark Hinton flies his large scale Aviation Design Rafale at the HobbyKing UK Live event. I have filmed this in the past at other UK shows but on this occasion Mark had added some simulated flare counter-measures. Looked good against the dark skies we had on the particular day.

    New Product Durafly T-28 Trojan Naval Aviation Centennial Edition

    A new version of the T-28 Trojan in, what I think, is the best scheme Durafly have ever applied to a model. Takes a few minutes to assemble, drop in a receiver and setup the transmitter. No decals to apply. It comes out of the box as you see it on the box. In the air the most noticeable...

    Two Freewing F-14 Tomcat EDF jets in close formation

    This was fun to film. Who needs expensive turbine jets when you can get these amazing ready to fly electric ducted fan EDF jets for a fraction of the price. They look superb in the air and especially when there are 2 of them being flown so well together.
