although i expected it to drop the Bell X-1, i never thought the latter would be remote controlled in its own right! :ymapplause:

There's some skill out there isn't there :ymapplause:

My experience of flying radio fixed wing has told me that a bit of weight is perhaps a good thing as the models are not so skittish and have more penetration through the air - and as long as they have plenty of thrutch the bigger models fly well $\:D/$

But then sometimes it goes wrong .... expensively !!

i guess you can only afford it as a hobby if you can afford the CRASHES! not for me I'm afraid!

Wimp

The trick is NOT to crash :))

BUT - if you do ..................

Cyanoacrylate.............. wonderful invention ... back in the air from most incidents in minutes

Only had one real carrier bag incident - lost a plane that went in vertical at full thrutch due to receiver crystal failure :-o

It was one of those moments where you get a demonstration of how sound and light travel at different speeds....... I saw it hit the deck about 150 yds away and saw it explode in a spray of pretty yellow bits ...... 2 seconds later .......CRUMP ........ quite funny actually :((

Dug the engine out of an eight inch hole in the soft earth with a penknife - put all the expensive bits in one carrier bag and the disposable wooden bits in another ..... built another plane and re-used all the big pricey bits .... £15 all up to repair/ rebuild and back in the sky in 2 weeks

(Wren gas turbine B52 - total loss - £30,000 :-o

Although they did save the turbines (8 of them at £2000 a pop :-o

) and were apparently able to re-use them with new main shafts if I remember rightly)

Brilliant hobby B-)

$\:D/$ Great footage! Wonder how many models that chap's been through to get to that routine?!

For once, a really Nicely Made R/C Aircraft Vid!

Just a Pleasure to watch!

A real beauty. Thank you sir. :ymapplause:

by **Xplumberlives** » Sun Oct 18, 2009 10:08 am

That's nearly too nice to be a TARGET!

Nice to see they pilot faithfully reproduce one of S.M.s landings! :ymapplause:

Awwwwwwww not again

Was good up till it died though

by **Spitfire** » Sat Jun 26, 2010 12:17 pm

We've been here before I know - but I couldn't resist this .....

Flying model helicopters in what is described as '3D mode' is VERY difficult at the best of times - but I've never seen it done so skilfully so close to the ground like this bloke :-o

Ok - as if to emphasise the point he nauses it up at the end

But IMHO he can be excused that because of what went before :ymapplause:

Then of course there's the 6 year old Justin Jee...........international competition and he comes 2nd :ymapplause:

Some people are just so naturally gifted B-)
