Ron Gray Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 As promised Dom, vid of my Zohd Delta with RunCam Thumb mounted on the camera plate. Video is non stabilised and shows, I think, how steady the Delta is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom (Essential RC) Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 Jamie Cuff flying his 3 channel Fairey Albacore at the recent Model Air event hosted at Old Warden Aerodrome. Not an easy thing to fly without ailerons and all that dihedral in the strong breeze we had going on most of the day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Chaddock Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 The Fairey Albacore certainly has dihedral but not that much.? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom (Essential RC) Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 Great scale flight from the owner of this seriously large Lama scale RC helicopter. The owner shared with me that it is made by Vario and powered by a Kontronic Pyro 800 brushless motor on 12S 10,000 mah. Maximum 10 minutes flight time on a good day. Filmed at a recent AHA Scale Fly In. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom (Essential RC) Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 The yellow Waco built and flown by Greg was built from a Barth kit (Germany) and the other Waco was built from an American AMR kit at the same scale. They weigh 23kg and the 29kg respectively and both are powered by Blackstar 250cc 5 cylinder 4 stroke radials from Tomahawk Aviation throwing 32x16 propellors. Both Wacos use Futaba radio with Powerbox sbus systems for guidance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom (Essential RC) Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 I've heard about these Lidl glider RC conversions but never seen one. Got the chance to see a few fly at Wimborne MFC. Quite amazed how well they fly. Especially the glide characteristics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom (Essential RC) Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 Something different ! Cartoon interpretation of an F-14 Tomcat. Goes together easily but has a couple of issues which caused a take off failure on the 1st attempt. 2nd attempt good though and looked awesome in the air !

Dom (Essential RC) Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 I have flown so many foamies recently I'd forgotten how good a balsa model could actually be. OMP obviously take pride in the quality of their product. Arrives in an almost bullet proof container to protect it from any knocks during shipping and you can understand that when you see how light the components are. Takes just a few minutes to assemble the PNP version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom (Essential RC) Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) Fantastic little Super Decathlon that goes together very quickly in 20 minutes due to the design and completeness of the kit. I set mine up on my Radiomaster TX16S transmitter and a Spektrum receiver. First flight I was doing all the aerobatic moves I could think of !
