Does anyone know (preferably someone involved in the event) what their rules are regarding FPV flying? I'm talking about fixed wing too not quads. Cheers.

Here are my new purchases. All made over the Weston Park weekend. The first is a DLG from the swap meet. The second an eflite P47 that was a bargain I spotted in one of the smaller trade stands. And the Extreme Flight Extra 300 was bought of a fellow camper while I was there. -

Posted by chris Bond - Bondaero on 07/06/2017 19:20:46: Would yo like me to take one of these to Weston for you http://www.bondaero.co.uk/MX2_61_/p1085152_15070642.aspx Those are nice aircraft but unfortunately won't suit the power setup I already have ready for the demonstrator. Thanks.

Posted by extra slim on 07/06/2017 16:16:36: Havent owned either of these (by all accounts both are well respected) but many similar models and have my B cert, my gut feel is the 48" Edge... purely ( and more of a personal situation and approach to flying) because I know I would fly it more, as it will probably fit in my car assembled, less setup etc, get more practice in, and it is half the price if any mishaps occur, and as such I would be more tempted to push things further.. I think this has swayed my decision. Especially when it comes to flying more. Also it will take up less space in my shed which is a bonus. At least now I can go to Weston Park knowing what I fancy...... Until of course I see something in the swap meet that throws a spanner in the works.

Yeah the B test is just a bonus really as I do have a model that will get me through that.

Hello all, I am currently in a debate with myself over 2 models which I like. The first is the 3DHS edge 540 demonstrator 48. The second is the Hangar 9 Sbach 60. My dilemma is choosing which one I would be better off with. I am used to flying both electric and petrol models so neither is a new venture for me, however, I am looking for something that is capable of the more 'extreme'/3D manoeuvres to learn and push myself with and to be able to maybe take my B cert at a later date. I would appreciate weighing up the pros and cons of each and if anyone has had any experience with either then advice is very welcomed. Thanks and happy flying.

That looks good. Also just been browsing the net and found this one from 3D Hobby Shop. http://www.kingslynnmodelshop.co.uk/Aircraft-3D_Hobby_Shop-3D_Hobby_Shop_Electric/c17_393_394/p13097/44_Inch_3D_Hobby_Shop_Slick_580_ARF_-_Blue/product_info.html

I was hoping for something balsa as I have a plethora of foam models but I'm not going to rule that one out yet.

As the title suggests I'm looking to get a new model. I'm after something 3D that can be really thrown around and to practice my 3D flying with. I either would like something electric for a 2200 3S battery setup or something for a 15cc petrol engine. Any suggestions?

Hi, I seem to have a problem with my ET Vector. I have tried to set up an EZuhf Rx in the plane and got it bound and went through the Rx setup wizard in the vector software without any problems. My issue is this: https://youtu.be/m6BxCkQKHlw As you can see any time i move a control surface the motor revs up. I have had this set up on an L9R that is currently in the model and it didn't do this. I have since gone back to the L9R Rx and the problem persists. If anyone can help with this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Posted by John F on 25/08/2016 12:46:43: Yes, an update on him at the end or in another programme would be fantastic. His grin as they took off was fantastic. I actually watch his YouTube videos and have been for years and in the same video that he said he wanted to fly it indoors he actually did say that he wasn't going to actually do that as it seemed dangerous and he was joking. Obviously cut from the program last night. He is still flying the Drone for his videos but he does make a point of always following the rules. Edited By Ben Kelly on 25/08/2016 16:21:30 -

Posted by Dylan Reynolds LaserCraft Services on 23/05/2016 22:35:30: Just a few from me from Sunday, brilliant event again as always guys **LINK** Nice shot of me walking my broken plane back to the pits there lol. Looks like i managed to record the reason for the crash. I might send this away to a claims company....'Had an accident that wasn't your fault!!' Haha.
