Dom (Essential RC)

Will be there flying with Stuart Warne (HobbyKing) and demonstrating some of their latest releases...

Scratch built Beechcraft Model 18 powered by twin Saito 90 3 cylinder radial engines by Bernd at Airliner Meeting 2024. Doesn't get any better than this. Very well flown.

Converted from 4 x micro turbines to 4 x electric ducted fans but does it fly better ?

Tyler Perry's 1st flight of Ramy RC's Giant 149KG XXL C-17 Globemaster at Airliner Meeting 2024. Tyler flies in less than ideal conditions on the first day (i.e. Friday) of the Airliner Meeting Show. There was a 15mph cross wind but that didn't stop him from getting this big quad EDF powered jet into the air. This unique EDF jet was constructed by Ramy RC in Atlanta, United States and shipped to Oppingen, Germany just for this event. It weights 149KG and is powered by 4 200mm EDFs running on 14S. The maximum pack capacity used per EDF is 17000mah. Wingspan is 6.4 meters (21 ft), length is 6.35 meters (20.9 ft).

After a first trimming flight and realising I needed to adjust the rudder I gave the new Avios Super Tucano a proper aerobatic flight. Let the flight do the talking.

Another Andrew White master piece in action...

A highlight from the BMFA Indoor Scale Nationals...

Next episode in my journey to master RC paragliding. This time in much better conditions !

Quick build 30mm EDF Red Arrows Hawk. Once trimmed out it flew quite well in the wind...

Something a bit different. Going to take me a while to master this one.

Most significant challenge with IC warbird conversions I have found is adding a tray for big lipos and making them easily accessible without needing to take the wing(s) off... and ruining the scheme with the modifications. I didn't see what Stuart had done to his P-51 for lipo access. Was hoping might see him and the P-51 at Old Warden next week but he's at Joe Nall at the moment so suspect that's unlikely.

Sounds good for an electric !

I'm looking forward to trying one of these soon.

Building this is one thing...but having the skill to fly it indoors is something else. Great skill demonstrated by master aero-modeller Andrew White.

Demo of the new Tundra v3 and a 12S 105mm EDF Hawk that could go into production soon...
