FPV Viperjet fun

[McTschegsn]

Well a completely soaked wooden model after the maiden flight is not that much fun

I had that happen with one of the old gliders I used to build. A friend and I built a set one weekend and then late one night took them out for fun. It was in England and after 1/2 hour or so the skins on the wings started to get floppy... even with a good layer of dope on them. Took back inside and hit them with a blow dryer and headed back out! Lost that one, when I was flying in some rolling hills. Caught an updraft and it just kept on going, watched it continue to climb till was out of sight!

Thanky guys. The Videos were made by John Lancaster (Robobiggles on youtube). We had great fun doing this stuff
In July some of the cast of the Battle of Britain model squadron is heading over to germany to my birthday fly in
Will keep you updated if you are interested in.

This is the obvious reason why papercrafting is a winter hobby for me

Winter is a great time for paper modeling. I have flow my simply park flyers in the winter though, that thick air really makes a difference. Great Videos, and yes, we are interested in the fly in.

Long time no read. Have been fiddling around with my life and everything.
Just wanted to add some moving pictures of my Tiger Moth
Now flying with digital FPV for way sharper views:

It's been 30 some odd years, but I used to fly an electric park flyer, and a gas HobbyZone Easy 80, my main hobby was racing 1/10th scale rally cars. I always loved flying, but never got good enough at it to turn it into anything other than a diversion. I helped an old friend build a 10ft SR-71, with two of those turbojets, never saw it fly though My friend died before maiden flight, and his widow sold all the stuff.

Sorry to hear about your friend but a Blackbird is always worth it

It's great to see your videos, much easier than trying to hunt them down!
