    I think a RC powered V12 is coming. I did see a pic on facebook last week!

    This is why I'm saving up for a Moki 400 radial. Sounds like no other engine. Attached to this gorgeous scratch built P-47 Reno Racer it just looks awesome with the smoke pouring out of the exhausts. Flown at the Weston Park International Model Show and filmed in stunning UltraHD/4K resolution.

    You won't see a better collection of WW1 warbirds on display. Not only are these flying works of art scratch built but they are flown in close formation. The always impressive 'Dawn Patrol'. Flown at the Weston Park International Model Show and filmed in glorious UltraHD / 4K resolution.

    Andreas of CARF Models does something I've never seen before with an RC jet. He executes a perfect Pugachev Cobra manoeuvre ! An aggressive change in pitch brings the jet from level to vertical in almost an instant. Used by pilots to evade a enemy chasing them at close range. Just awesome to watch this done for the first time in front of a big crowd. Look out for the 'Cobra' at 3:45 into the video.

    Andreas Gietz of CARF Models flying his superb F-100 D Super Sabre at Weston Park International Model Show. At 2.5m wingspan and 3.6 length this is one big scale jet.

    Designed; built and flown by Graham Dorschell this big 4 x 70mm electric ducted fan powered not only looks great but sounds fantastic in the air...especially on fly bys at low power.

    There is a lot of skill to flying them and in the case of the Hunter flying it in a scale way. I know that the owner takes a lot of pride in how he flies it as it's his favourite full size subject as well.

    Steve Johnson flying his J10. Just as well he has the immense power from the K210 engine. It gets him out of trouble in a split second if needed.

    Ludo and his family travelled all the way from Belgium to fly at the Wings & Wheels Model Spectacular show with this impressive Christen Eagle biplane. More smoke oil than fuel I think on this flight!

    Point noted though. Will try best in future ;)

    Mike Burrell flying his superb giant 1:4.5 scale Hawker Hunter at the Wings & Wheels Model Spectacular show. This model is powered by a Jetcat 220Rxi micro gas turbine engine!

    Another stunning scratch built RC airplane from my recent visit to Middle Wallop for the BMFA Electric Fly-In. A faithful scale reproduction of an iconic British aircraft. Not only does it look super scale but it also has opening / closing cargo doors and automated deployment of its cargo. Fantastic!

    If there's one thing I enjoy filming it's these scratch built re-creations of iconic scale aircraft. Great example here with this Hawker Tempest Mk V. Not only looks and flies scale but sounds like the real deal with its Benedini sound system.

    Awesome electric ducted fan replica of the 1940's Miles M.52 supersonic jet. Scratch built from only 3 views of the original full size aircraft. Powered by a 90mm Wemotec fan on 6S5000 lipo battery pack.

    Dassault Mirage 2000D Duo (French Air Force) at RIAT 2017

    Never seen one of these before. Apparently a discontinued ASM kit. Converted to electric by its owner and well done because it flies so well. 80 inch wingspan and 20 lbs in weight so it's fairly bit even for a twin.

    Sadly not. Will be away on my holidays. Maybe next time.
