They just overheated due to insufficient air intake he told me. Some of the wiring may need replacing, mounting rails replaced and some paint but otherwise the damage didn't look to bad. Video of that incident in a few days but he dealt with it as best he could. It stopped at the far end of the runway and took them a while to get to it so minor miracle the flames didn't properly catch otherwise would have been a total loss.

After not performing that well on 2 x 160N engines Steve upgraded to 2 x 220N engines. Much improved !

Caddx Walksnail GM3 3 axis gimbal Walksnail Avatar HD Pro Kit v2 camera in a Hangar 9 RV4. My helper wore the Walksnail Goggles L while I flew line of sight for this test flight. I was expecting engine vibration to affect the view quite badly BUT it didn't. Opens up the possibility of using this setup in some big warbirds later this year.

Just googled and seems it's been a requirement since 2011. I see it most of the time when I hit new websites. 🤷‍♂️

Yes 😄. Same for all websites though. It's a legal requirement for all websites to get user consent to store cookies. Comes under General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Popham Model Show was awesome this year. No clash with other events and good weather despite a strong crosswind all weekend. Here Joe is flying a CARF Hawk 1:3.75 powered by a Jetcat 250 Pro. Guidance by Powerbox Core radio with Powerbox Mercury + iSat gyro. MacGregor 55kg servos used throughout. Electron retracts. Fully fuelled this jet weighs 28 KG.

Built from the Heli Classics kit. Powered by a Pahl Taurus 12 KW two stage turbine. All up weight of 24.8 KG. Length 2.7 metres. Rotor diameter 2.6 metres. This project took Lee around 14 months to complete with over 60 additional scale parts. The only example of this model in the UK. Total project cost is estimated at £30K.

Rarely modelled Burgess Dunne BD1-B Float Bi-plane. Built and flown by Andrew White

Wingspan: 680mm (27") Length: 660mm (26") Motor: 3536 1700kv brushless outrunner ESC: Aerostar LITE 60A Servo: 4 x 9g metal geared Controls: 4 channel (Throttle, Ailerons, Elevator, Rudder) Takes minutes to assemble. 2 bolts. Longer bolt for the wings. Shorter bolt for the horizontal and vertical stabiliser. Connect the elevator ball link. Glue on the servo covers for ailerons. Drop in your receiver. First flight with RadioMaster ERS-GPS for some fun ground speed telemetry during the flight

Spectacular views from this scale Bush Plane. No doors and no side screens are a real bonus when flying FPV plus being able to see down the back of the aircraft because the rear fuselage isn't covered.

Got my AtomRC Beluga dialled in now. C20T gimbal with XFs own head tracker and receiver is just superb with DJI O3. Moves very quickly. Barely noticeable latency between head and gimbal movement.
