These guys have been practicing their formation flying for a long time. That's how they got so good at this.

They are flying Bill Hempel Clipped Wing Cubs. These radio controlled aircraft have a wing span of 18 feet (216 inches) and are designed for the 3W-275cc engine but Azza and Sonny used the ZDZ 420B4-J. The weight is approximately 94-96 pounds.

This seriously large P-47 was flown at the Wings and Wheels RC Model Spectacular 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.

The Excal is a great model (I have flown my v1 a lot), but I'm a bit disappointed they have stuck with the same brittle hardware for the linkages, and haven't strengthened the apertures around the rear air vents that were a known weak point in v1. See post 1 of the RCGroups thread for full details...

Huge side profile on this aircraft means it barely needs any rudder input in knife edge. Powered by a Hacker Q30 on 10S. Not something I had seen before.

 

 

 

 

Blimey, that model..... let's be kind and say it's an "acquired taste"! ?
