    A compressed action compilation of modern and classic RC Airliners from a meeting I attended in Germany. Enjoy !

    I've filmed a few RC F-104s but this one has the best scheme of the lot. Looks amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFTqeAk8Ky4

    Bit fiddly but it works ! Looking forward to the first formation flight with my fellow RC A-10 pilots...

    Dietmar and Chris are known for their amazing creativity when it comes to designing and building super light RC aeroplanes to be flown at shows in Germany...but this latest project is just brilliant. They give a flight demo outside and then they give me some insight into the inspiration, power system, vectored thrust, flight stabilisation and what the scale model will look like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEjnYi2WpBM

    Always some degree of stress flying most RCs but this Night Vapor just let's you unwind after a hard day in the office. Perfect for zero to light winds and so controllable can operate in a very small space. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrEC1gVqvko

    Awesome Su-27. Created from the CARF Models kit with two micro turbine engines for power. Wingspan is 68" (2200 mm) and length 126" (3200 mm). Weight is 50 - 53 lb (23 - 24 kg). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZWElPBUkTY

    In storage for 15 -20 years so a few things needed replacing and updating but it's ready to go for it's re-maiden...as is the Concorde in the background. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3KvGV0GwTM

    Second flight. It likes a bit of low inverted this thing... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LswySpaARYI

    Super little "almost ready to fly" warbird in this size just like it's predecessors in this 750mm series from HobbyKing. Assembly takes minutes and flies like a much larger model due to the clever ORX gyro stabiliser. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rrnf4TlRNy0

    A night flight of Jurgen's amazing F4U Corsair. At 3.1 metres wingspan how did he manage to keep it to only 4 KG with it's wing folding mechanism and twist and turn retractable landing gear ?! Amazing building and flying skills demonstrated here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ldngc4fz3yU

    A fantastic creation demonstrated at Old Warden Aerodrome at the ModelAir event and in the hands of this experienced pilot it really was a joy to capture it flying in the warm breeze. Richard the owner and pilot shared that this is a model of 1934 Weir - W2 at roughly 1:6 scale. The full size aircraft is at the National Museum of Flight in Scotland.

    The most compact way to determine the max speed of your RC whether it be surface or air. Powered off the balance plug on your lipo. Also gives pack voltage. So small and light it can practically fit in any RC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Da4EvVmDHas

    Amazing and unique twin Jet Central Mammoth turbine engine powered ME-262. A unique scratch built model. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUOWHSG2EgM

    Just the best sound you can hear from under the cowl of an FW-190. Moki 150cc 5 cylinder radial. Sounds stunning.

    This seriously large P-47 was flown at the Stow Maries Scale RC Show by John Mason of TJD Models. It has wingspan of 122 inches, the weight is around 70 lbs and the model is powered by a DLE-170. Other engine options for this giant are the DA-200, DLE-222, MOKI 250 and 300. Plan available at http://www.meister-scale.com/Thunderbolt25/index.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvjI76zmSzc

    It doesn't get any better than this. Flying my Spitfire in formation with another using head tracked FPV technology. Just amazing ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrHq9aF1Qvo

    Worked out better than expected. Only one minor collision but the relative speed was low so was just a bump ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WSk6iG4a6s

    Amazing flights by Seba Silvestri experimenting with the broad CG range of this iconic airliner. An additional kit to install the realistic nose movement is available. It can either be powered by two 90mm EDFs with 12S 8000mAh Lipos or one or two turbines. Length: 3400mm Wingspan: 1450mm Engine: 2× 90mm Electric Ducted Fan or 2 x 45N turbine Battery: 12S 8000mA/h (2x6s 8000mA/h) Flying Time: ~ 7 Minutes Take Off Weight: Depending on the equipment 11-12 kg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPGDhscw7DE

    Very quick assembly but the transmitter setup for the elevons and canards was a little challenging. On first flight I failed to get this jet in the air with 6S6000 pack. CG too far forward. But with 6S5000 it jumped into the air. Trimmed out for roll quickly on first circuit then hit the deck for low smooth passes and nice axial rolls. Another excellent jet from Freewing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0CAVJPYq8M

    Quick assembly with no glue, drop in your receiver and battery pack and it cruises along even in gusty wind. Great to see the iconic shape of the Hurricane in the sky with this relatively cheap but very good looking warbird. Specs: Wing Span: 750mm (30”) Length: 622mm (24.5”) Weight: 430g Thrust ratio: 1:1 Motor: 2408-1300KV brushless ESC: 20A brushless Gyro: Intelligent 6-axis with 2 flight modes (beginner-expert) Servo: 9g x 4 Propeller: 8x6 3 blade https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXOfIeIZrbk

    Joel's aspiration to achieve vertical take off, transition to flight and vertical landing has had its challenges. There have been disappointments along the way...but he's persistent and the latest results are promising.

    The Tundra is back with some shrewd improvements that will make it more durable than it's predecessor. I highlight these and throw it about in the air during it's maiden flight. Available here: Durafly Tundra V2 (PNF) - Red/Blue - 1300mm (51
