Toni Reynaud Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 More congratulations - that looks and sounds top of the world. We'd love to see another video when it's been in the air a few more times and you are used to it. Absolutely majestic.

Electriflier Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Extremely grateful for your comments fellas. - Thank you! Dane, your comment ' just like the full size' really pleased me. It sort of shows me that the model is behaving properly and scale-like. So, yes, I will be concentrating on perfecting my turns in an attempt to do the model justice. Tony, I'm looking forward to flying the model again and hoping for blue skies for the next video. When that happens, I'll be happy to post it here. I'm hearing 'what's next?' quite frequently but truthfully, I haven't given it much thought. There's also the issue of where to store the Vulcan, Buccaneer, Sea Vixen, Spitfire and Hercules depron builds as well as some other models in my collection. Suppose it's a nice problem to have Regards Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electriflier Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Sunday 31st Aug Second Outing Couldn't resist taking the Hercules to the field this evening. The winds have died down to acceptable levels so, along with the usual bunch of guys, had a lovely evening's flying. The beautiful blue skies made for the perfect backdrop to the red and white of the model. See for yourselves. Thanks to Charles for using my camera to best advantage - nice one!

Electriflier Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Geoff, Ian, Roy, thanks - appreciated! I realise all flying shots are going to start looking alike but if you're not getting bored of seeing them, I'm happy to keep posting 3 more from yesterday. oh and one of the Buccaneer which also got an airing yesterday. What a pleasure to fly...... Not forgetting the good old Buccaneer. Finally, I have been given some rather large video files by a friend of mine who shot some footage of the Hercules last week. Some rather nice video which, after I've edited it, will post up here. Regards Roy Edited By Electriflier on 08/09/2014 19:57:13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electriflier Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Hi, As promised, the video of the second flight of the Herc'. Filmed on Sunday 24th August. Special thanks to the usual guys at the field... Charles, Phil, Michael, Tim, Brian & Alan, So, another build log comes to an end. Doesn't seem two minutes since I was starting out on the build. Thank you to all who subscribed and followed along the way - Enjoyable! Regards Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian101 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Thanks for sharing an outstanding build with us Roy. It is always a pleasure to follow your build logs. Regards Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymaz Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Great video. The four motors even sound a bit like the real thing....takes me back to my boyhood as they few over our house from Lyneham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic Olley Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Inspiring build. what flight time are you getting with 4S 6000mah pack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electriflier Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Ian, many thanks and Cymaz, cheers Dominic, Having not flown the model for the duration of a full charge, I can only work on remaining power in the batteries after separate flights. My guesstimate would be a comfortable 8-9 minutes. Regards Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Walters Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Just caught up with this Roy and seen the vid and all the comments - all deserved - great sight in the air. Well done! Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electriflier Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Hi Terry, Thanks for that! If I'm not mistaken, the Hercules should feature in Q&EFI mag next month in Chris Gold's 'Light Fantastic' column. Pretty excited about that....

Terry Walters Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Wow! Have to have a look at that - might get a digital 'one-off'! Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Walby Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hi, Just read your build and watched the flights and it looks really great. Do you know what the all up flight weight was? And have you had any interest in supplying its as a kit? PS where is your shop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
