    Built from a DerJet kit and powered by a JetCat P-80. This relatively small jet dealt with the windy conditions really well at the Classic Jets #70 event held at Abingdon in April 2017.

    As last year I visited this Show with a small group of radio control modellers who put on a display just before the full size program. Was great fun to be part of that. Then I sat back and took video of some of the full size aircraft. It was a great show again.

    A 2 year project for Paul came to conclusion yesterday with maiden flights at Middle Wallop, UK. A stunning looking model. Powered by a KingTech 210 gas turbine engine. Highlights...

    This is based on the actual full size flown by Skip Stewart. It's a new model sold by Horizon Hobby. By far the best model of it's size I've flown yet.

    Super scale detail on this micro Apache and it flies so well.

    ...it's all part of the hobby. I take a lot of video so I see a few here and there. Enjoy!

    RC as in Radio Controlled. My primary hobby but we do get asked to fly our larger aerobatic and jet models at full size events and I video both types of action for my YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/c/EssentialRC

    I've seen gyrocopters fly at Popham airfield, UK several times. Have always been fascinated by them...but this was first time I've seen an aerobatic display. Super impressive. He even flies hands off!

    An exact re-creation of the Klemm down to the internal structures and materials used. Just astonishing the skill that went into creating this. Build thread here, http://www.ghostsquadron.co.uk/klemm_25.html

    Stunning use of pyrotechnics in this display...

    I was part of small team of RC modellers that finished our lunchtime demonstration. We were based next to the commentary position. Can't describe the feeling of dread when we saw it happen in front of us just beyond the perimeter. Thoughts are with the casualties and those affected. There was obviously no flying for the rest of the day with the exception of Vulcan which made a slow respectful slow pass.

    Amazing 550cc flat 4 powered 55% scale Yak 54 takes flight with some amazing aerobatics that even the full size can't perform at low altitude...
