Scratch built indoor Fouga Cyclone jet sailplane

Beautiful and skilful aero-modelling. Despite being light this tiny electric ducted fan model is still quite quick and obviously challenging to fly in this sports hall.

Graceful Bristol Boxkite indoor scale

A highlight from the recent BMFA Indoor RC Scale Nationals. The most graceful entry in my opinion.

Re: Flying an RC Pitts biplane from the cockpit view

And actually flying with the FPV goggles. I got lost a few times ! So important to have a spotter.

OMP Hobby Edge 540 60" aerobatic RC aeroplane

In this review vid I don't waste your time with an obvious assembly guide but before the flying (me and a Pro pilot) I do show some of the very smart design features that put this up there with the best 3D ARF's money can buy.
