Dom (Essential RC) Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 After a first trimming flight and realising I needed to adjust the rudder I gave the new Avios Super Tucano a proper aerobatic flight. Let the flight do the talking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom (Essential RC) Posted July 17 Author Share Posted July 17 Tyler Perry's 1st flight of Ramy RC's Giant 149KG XXL C-17 Globemaster at Airliner Meeting 2024. Tyler flies in less than ideal conditions on the first day (i.e. Friday) of the Airliner Meeting Show. There was a 15mph cross wind but that didn't stop him from getting this big quad EDF powered jet into the air. This unique EDF jet was constructed by Ramy RC in Atlanta, United States and shipped to Oppingen, Germany just for this event. It weights 149KG and is powered by 4 200mm EDFs running on 14S. The maximum pack capacity used per EDF is 17000mah. Wingspan is 6.4 meters (21 ft), length is 6.35 meters (20.9 ft). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom (Essential RC) Posted July 20 Author Share Posted July 20 Converted from 4 x micro turbines to 4 x electric ducted fans but does it fly better ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom (Essential RC) Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 Scratch built Beechcraft Model 18 powered by twin Saito 90 3 cylinder radial engines by Bernd at Airliner Meeting 2024. Doesn't get any better than this. Very well flown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom (Essential RC) Posted July 30 Author Share Posted July 30 Top weekend at Old Warden Aerodrome ModelAir event supporting Stuart and Andreis from HobbyKing. Flew several times with 12 year old Finn attempting to do some half decent formation flying with the new Avios Super Tucano that's coming out in August.

Dom (Essential RC) Posted August 15 Author Share Posted August 15 Has been a long time since I filmed at a Large Model Association Show so I drove 4 hours up to Elvington for their penultimate show of the season. Well worth it. Some superb flying over the 2 days I was there starting with this F-14 Tomcat flown by Steve Kilbon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban8 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Very impressive - a few more models like that and I might be tempted to revisit model airshows again.....just curious, but the oscillation of the tailerons both when on the deck and during the take of roll during the slow mo sequences is very noticeable - just part of the control systems MO, presumably?

Ron Gray Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 The constant moving control surface reminds me of the good old ‘Galloping Ghost’ rc systems! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a characteristic of some digital servos when there is no load on the control surface. They are constantly trying to centre. It disappears with airflow applying load when it starts to move. It's not a problem but can be stopped by adding a small bit of fluffy sticky back velcro to the side of the fuselage so the control surface has a bit of resistance. It's what I've done on a 35% Extra because with 4 servos doing it it can be an annoying noise.

Dom (Essential RC) Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 Steve Elias flying his Su-30 at Southern Model Show. Quite outstanding scale flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom (Essential RC) Posted September 12 Author Share Posted September 12 Strictly speaking, it's a boat, but since it flies above the water and is EDF powered and was displayed at Popham Model Show I had to share it here for those who might be interested. So innovative ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
