Impressive. Were you flying the whole time or have it in a 'loiter' auto-pilot mode?

Hey guys, you gotta watch these guys in Slovenia.... Very funny and straight forward way of RC.... Worth subscribing
Gravity sucks, or should I say, is the downfall of all things flying. It's the way it's controlled that makes the end memorable or not.

This is like how we used to build fuseladges 30 years ago with fibreglass.
I just wish we had 3D printers back then.

Check out these guys doing long range FPV and using iNav radar for close proximity flying with other aircraft.

Be sure to test it.

A long time ago we would see a bit of this at our Nationals, the sporting halls in our inland towns were not as big as this venue.

Ever wondered what happens inside of a RC Jet engine?
Then check out this video.

This would be nice to fly. My father had control line pulse jets in the 1950s.
They are fuel tanks up the front.

That would be a hoot to fly. Not sure where would be a good place to fly it tho? Out on a dry salt lake in the desert perhaps?
Untill you've heard one of those engines running you cannot appreciate the amount of noise they make!!
That long grass looks pretty dry could be interesting if it went down in that. It's not super fast fast tho. It's reasonably swift but I wouldn't think it was quicker than a Q-500.

This one is for Andrew. This is what I remember and it only has to be done once. After this is done you can then use the transmiter it is in to flash it again.

I just did a tune on my Irangex muti module, set it to +12.
Still to do my Jumper Tlite.
This Tx16 does look good.

So my son really enjoyed throwing his $3.50 kmart glider around between flying sessions on saturday, and he also wants to get into flying RC as well.
I looked into it tonight, kmart sell a large foam glider for $11 (https://www.kmart.com.au/product/big-foa...d-43073931) and it's a copy of / the same product sold in Europe via Lidl.
Turns out there's a huge community of people converting these things to RC in all sorts of fun ways (including making EDF jets out of them)
So I ordered a few small 3s batteries, some 4.5g servos, a 20A ESC and a small drone motor and props, I'll head to kmart tomorrow and pick one up to try out.

It will be interesting to see how the conversion goes. They gliders themselves are quite robust so it should hold up reasonably well to abuse.
