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...

    Best Essential RC FPV Onboard clips

    I've used the RunCam2 micro camcorder quite a bit over the years to get some great onboard shots from some of the larger models at the shows and events. 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...

    Landings...some good...some not so good

    The first in a series of short vids showing some of the best (and not so good) landings at Shows and Events I filmed at last year. Conditions aren't always favourable but, has to be said, the pilots always do their best to put on a great demonstration even if the wind is gusting across the...

    Emergency deadstick flameout with Giant scale Hawker Hunter jet

    Sure it takes skill to fly a turbine RC jet...but it takes even more skill and experience to be able to deal with things when they go wrong. Here Mick Burrell's Hawker Hunter suffers an engine flameout part way through its demonstration flight at the Southern Model Show. Other RC pilots would...

    XK X520 VTOL Fighter (vertical take off/land)

    Brilliant VTOL. So simple to fly even in strong wind ! Take-off vertically, transition to normal flight with flick of a switch, and then flick switch back for vertical landing (or hand grab). Superb.
