Luke Metcalf, assisted by his Father Paul, flying this in true scale style at the BMFA Power Nationals 2017. Lightning by name and he flies it like Lightning. I had trouble keeping up with my camcorder. Full after burners and tight turns. TERRIFIC !

Some details of this amazing model.
Built by Trond Hammerstad from Norway from the Airworld Modellbau kit. 9 litres of fuel onboard in two 4.5 litre tanks.
Scale: 1/5
Span: 176 cm
Length: 284 cm
Engine: B300F turbine (320N thrust)

Crazy fast 200mph+ pulse jet control line action from the BMFA Power Nationals. I can't comprehend how you control the pitch on these models while they are travelling at these speeds while keeping balance. Compelling to watch !

Somehow I missed your topic. I don't know why. It's a nice one. I am not into modeling (except human ones), but do like the way of flying some have. Good job!

Appreciate the feedback buddy. Cheers

Steve Haughty closes out the 2017 RC Show Season with a characteristically low, fast, high G flight at Southern Model Show in Headcorn, Kent, UK.

Before the days of RC...we had control line. Some still race with control line models today. Quite entertaining to watch. You get the impression that with one false move you could risk decapitation.

Some stunningly scale warbirds from the BMFA Power Nationals 2017. An annual competition event hosted by the British Model Flying Association that brings the best together of all RC aero-modelling disciplines.

Steve Carr flying his Pilot-RC 55% Yak-54. Steve's got a real hang of this model now. Not a lot he can't do with it.  Filmed in UltraHD / 4K !

Seems a trend has started at RC shows this year with turbine jets and warbirds flying in the same slot. I think the pilots like the challenge of trying to fly them in formation despite the massive difference in power and flying style. Filmed at the Large Model Association Cosford Show.

John Greenfield (Ghost Squadron) built this half scale Klemm KL 25 from plans of the actual full size aircraft. He also used the same materials in its construction and chose the Valach 420cc 5 cylinder radial engine (VM R5-420). An engine more powerful than the engines used in the full size aircraft!

This model has a wingspan of 6.5 metres and length of 3.8 metres.
The weight is 57 KG.

Filmed at the Large Model Association (LMA) Cosford Show 2017.

Dave Johnson, Chairman of the Large Model Association, flies this stunning scale Bede 8, together with John Greenfield (Ghost Squadron) flying the highly detailed 66% scale Beercraft 'Honey Bee'.

Superb scratch built MiG-29 powered by two micro gas turbine jet engines each with 170 newtons of thrust. It looks especially menacing against the grey skies at RAF Cosford.

The ultimate tribute to Spitfire. A replica at 1:3 scale of the full size. Just as awesome to watch flying over the menacing skies of RAF Cosford. Scratch built and powered by a DA150.

This giant VC10 has a wingspan of 4.9 metres and length of 5.75 metres. Total weight is 63 kgs. The model is powered by 4 Wren Super Sport micro gas turbine engines each of which has 18 lbs if thrust. Designed and built by Terry Mason. Flown by Dave Johnson, LMA Chairman.
