Josip Vrandecic -Mes Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Thanks Dom for your time ... Sukhoi is really fantastic model but I'm a little old-fashioned , for my taste, too many safety electronics (safe button etc) If I get it , in the future,want to incorporate just ordinary futaba tx 6 ch and set up flaperons for a softer landing to keep the gear and then with more fear (adrenaline) appeared on my local meadow...loool Ciao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom (Essential RC) Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 Have seen Azza fly his Shockwave several times...but this is probably the best scheme I have seen on any sport jet. Laid down by the master Philip Noel of Pinnacle Aviation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff S Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Superb flying of a stunning model spoiled only by the paint scheme I suppose paint schemes are definitely in the eye of the beholder however skilfully carried out. I just wish I could perform such an accurate slow roll at 3 mistakes high never mind no mistakes high like this Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Houghton 1 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Dom - maybe you should come along to the Orme in Llandudno 8th/9th October when the PSSA are holding their final Fly for Fun meet of the year, see what we get up to on the slopes. This was some video I took at the Orme back in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom (Essential RC) Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 World Champion, Luke Bannister, wins the British FPV Racing Championship at Ragley Hall. Amazing skills to guide a drone around this tight course consistently through several heats, quarter and semi-finals and THIS final race.

Bob Burton Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Posted by Dom (Essential RC) on 20/09/2016 10:57:49: At 1.3m wingspan the Avios Zazzy from HobbyKing is a decent size but the innovative servo connection system for the wings means breaking it down for transport (and assembly at the field) is very quick and easy with no servo lead connections. Precision flight and aerobatic characteristics are superb due to the quality digital metal gear servos and the thick wing section makes for stable flight at high and low speed. This is a perfect second model for the RC pilot who wants there next challenge after they have learnt basic flight with an RC Trainer like the HobbyKing Tuff Trainer 2. Disappointing to see the BMFA recommendations on safety disregarded when connecting the battery. "(b) Since plugging in the flight battery is nearly always a two-handed job you must give serious thought to how your model will be restrained BEFORE it does something you don’t expect. (c) When plugging in the flight battery, positive restraint, either by a helper holding the model or by some other method, and staying completely clear of the propeller must always be part of your regular routine. " One false move or fault and the motor would have started when the Lipo was connected. Considering where the prop was at the time and that there was no model restraint if the motor had started it would have been "interesting" To my mind the procedure used would warrant a failure if the pilot was undertaking even the A certificate test.

Dom (Essential RC) Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 A synchronised RC heli and dance display I caught at the UK HeliFest at Ragley Hall. Cannot imagine the effort that goes into planning this routine and rehearsing it. Was great entertainment and appreciated by the crowd watching. Featuring skilled pilots Kyle Dahl and Mirko Cesena partnered by talented dancers Chiara Cesena and Aida Grosu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essjay Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 That was an extremely well put together act. I shudder to think how much effort and time went into learning it. A couple of very talented heli pilots, not to mention the very talented dancers as well. Considering that the dancers and pilots were back to back a lot of the time, the synchro was pretty much spot on. Helis really don't do it for me normally, but that was impressive.

Dom (Essential RC) Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 Was great to see a newly formed team at the Festival of Flight at Ragley Hall. The guys are well known on the show circuit for the enthusiasm for all things RC aero and are sure to be a feature of all big UK shows next season. Watch out for 'Team Rogue' !

Dom (Essential RC) Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 Our big training room wasn't available but that didn't stop me ripping the new E-Flite UMX Yak 54 out of the box and having some fun with it. BIG fun for SMALL spaces this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John F Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 You have forgotten the safety aspect on some of your vids in the past and I see that this is no different. Let's be honest, this is an advert for a model aircraft so you're actually condoning this kind of thing to other would be fliers. Flying indoors and "having fun" whilst, on occasion, being less in control than is required causing yourself to back away is always a hoot isn't it - until you get a facefull of propeller! If you're going to fly indoors, at this range and at head height, please wear a motorcycle helmet! The only sensible part of this is the fact that no one else was around.
