    20 years of aero-modelling so had a tidy up of several boxes of 'junk' and found a ChangeSun 12 blade 90mm EDF fan with a HET 1400KV motor and 120A OPTO ESC. Needed to put it in something and I liked the look of the FlexJet Pro. Turned out it was a very high quality kit with excellent assembly instructions. First flight on 8S4000 was good although one mains door hinge did get pulled out and landing on the slightly bumpy grass. Easy to repair with some epoxy. Looking forward to more flights in warmer weather.

    Built by master aero-modeller Chris Golds over 20 years ago and in storage ever since. He was also a jet pilot of various full size aircraft including the English Electric Lightning and an accomplished aviation artist. He's enjoying retirement now so hoping he gets to see this vid of his creation flying again.

    Not very often we see a scale jet built from a plan so always a joy to film such a model when I do get a chance. This Sea Vixen was built by Dave Batchelor from a Kerry Sterner design. Built over 2 years and flown expertly here by Dave Wilshere of Motors & Rotors.

    These guys have been practicing their formation flying for a long time. That's how they got so good at this.

    They are flying Bill Hempel Clipped Wing Cubs. These radio controlled aircraft have a wing span of 18 feet (216 inches) and are designed for the 3W-275cc engine but Azza and Sonny used the ZDZ 420B4-J. The weight is approximately 94-96 pounds.

    Star Wars X-Wing? About as close as you can get I think! This is my latest flight with the Swan\H-Wing Pro after some viewers had asked for closer up look at the transmitter and it's functionality. Really very easy to fly. The only improvement I would make is being able to fly with FPV goggles. Would not be difficult to retrofit DJI FPV. Maybe something I'll do over Winter.
