Dom (Essential RC) Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 Spotted this at the recent ProWing Show in Germany. New Flexwing type Microlight. Will be available last 2023 from Cefics.com for about 2K Euro apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom (Essential RC) Posted May 15, 2023 Author Share Posted May 15, 2023 Goes together extremely quickly because all the hard work has been done including servos hooked up to control surfaces and power system. Always exceptional construction of these OMP models in the factory if you take time to look inside at the neatly interlocked balsa and ply. Runs on 4S or 6S. I went 6S4000 but rarely used full throttle since it is so light. Thanks to those that subscribe to my Essential RC channel and watch my videos which share my passion for all things RC. Much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom (Essential RC) Posted May 16, 2023 Author Share Posted May 16, 2023 A highlight from the recent BMFA Indoor RC Scale Nationals. The most graceful entry in my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom (Essential RC) Posted May 17, 2023 Author Share Posted May 17, 2023 New, larger version of the Challenger from OMP Hobby. 59 inch wingspan, super light balsa and play construction with a high visibility scheme that has been very well applied in the factory. I used the recommended SunnySky brushless motor and ESC with Eolo propellor. Takes 4 standard servos. Can use 4S or 6S packs. I used a 6S4000 and barely used full throttle.

Dom (Essential RC) Posted June 9, 2023 Author Share Posted June 9, 2023 Beautiful large 1:6 scale scratch built Avro Lancaster in 'G for George' scheme. It is powered by 4 Zenoah 38cc engines. Flown by Jack Mitchell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extra slim Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Great vid as always Dom, sign of the times, at the start of the video upon seeing the pilot, I thought "oh this will be good, a young lad prop hanging a lanc!", but good on him flying it so nicely... would have been great to see a bouncing b&mb, given the 80th anniversary of Dambusters. would have been the icing on the cake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Smith 1 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Top class pilot and model! 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom (Essential RC) Posted June 13, 2023 Author Share Posted June 13, 2023 Beautiful and skilful aero-modelling. Despite being light this tiny electric ducted fan model is still quite quick and obviously challenging to fly in this sports hall. Built and flown by Andrew White. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom (Essential RC) Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 Downwind flameout and pilot obviously decides not to turn back into wind and risk a stall. Problem is it flew further and further away. Difficult to execute a good landing when it's in the distance. This tested my 25x zoom !

Adrian Smith 1 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 What a shame. It's easy for me to say in hindsight but would it have been better to leave the U/C retracted and just slide in? 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at full zoom on my camera. The jet would have been very small for him visually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
