Dom (Essential RC) Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 A projectile with only 1 wing, a high performance 2 stroke race engine, that tops 299 KM/H. This is about as extreme as control line gets. Watch out for the super slo mo at the end. It's still fast ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom (Essential RC) Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 The Fortune has rapidly become one of the best 2m sport jets available. Worth a look if you're a competent RC pilot. Filmed in UltraHD/4K at Southern Model Show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom (Essential RC) Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Autumn has well and truly arrived and a fantastic 2017 flying season has ended. Despite that I still have lots of unpublished video captured at events over the few months which I will share over the coming weeks. There were some great moments over 2017. Here's a short clip compilation of some of my favourite action. Not all flying...I like to film all things RC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom (Essential RC) Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 WW2 Warbirds and turbine Jets in the same slot at the BMFA Nationals. Some skill required to keep these models in close formation but it worked so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom (Essential RC) Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 Scale perfection arrives in the form of this scratch built Westland Wyvern which was displayed by Pete Fullard at the BMFA Power Nationals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom (Essential RC) Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 The Fun Fighters are always a highlight of any Show they take part in. I've seen them at several shows this year and with Daren Graham and Mark Aubrey leading them they can't but fail to have fun and put on an entertaining flying slot for the public. These are small, fast and easy to build WW2 kits available from http://www.funfighters.co.uk. Here's a vid of these awesome models in action.

Dom (Essential RC) Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 Simon Potter flying his superb L-39 Albatros at a Jet Modellers Association meeting at the BMFA National Visitor Centre in Buckminster, Lincolnshire. This model is decorated in the scheme of the Baltic Bees Jet Team. Simon is obviously a fan and who can blame him. If you watch videos of them performing you can see what he is trying to emulate in terms of flying style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josip Vrandecic -Mes Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Me thinks most would have to imitate him.....That gay flies fantastically.... Thanks Dom ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom (Essential RC) Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 I edit and publish as fast as I can Tony ! Here's another... Steve Johnson, regular UK RC Show pilot, flies his new A-10 at BMFA National Visitor Centre in Buckminster. This Skymaster A-10 is 1:6.25 scale with length 2552 mm (101.3in) and wingspan 2784mm (109.6in). Dry weight is 20kg to 22kg (45-48Lbs) and the model needs 13-15 servos. I took a bit of creative licence and added some real GAU-8 gatling gun sound as its unique to the A-10. Steve told me he intends to get a backing sound track together with A-10 live firing to compliment his aerobatic display at shows next year. Looking forward to it !

Dom (Essential RC) Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 The 'Ghost Squadron' give a superb demonstration of both unpowered and powered gliders at the BMFA Power Nationals 2017. The Minimoa is a classic design with its gull wings. It gets pulled up by a tug fitted with a 100cc engine. The racing glider is powered by an electric motor with a single blade propellor that is automatically deployed from within the fuselage into a vertical position before it starts up.

AndyD Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 if you showed just the pilots in a quiz program and asked the name of the sport/hobby I bet you would get some good answers,tried it in my teens with not to much success,and nowhere near the speed they were going.
