Title: German R/C club, awesome scale models, terrible flying.
Post by: DaveBB on February 09, 2018, 08:46:13 PM

Man, these scale models are nice.  But their flying skills need some improving.  I think a big problem is the small field.

Oh, man.  Some of those are painful to watch.  I feel bad seeing them crash with all that work that goes in.

Nice Vmc demo with that large jet model and great flutter example at around the 6 minute mark.

Had a thought while watching the two jetliners with very low mounted jet engines, trying to take off on the grass.

I wondered if the one that yawed a bit before crashing suffered a "bug" strike in the engine with loss of power?  :D

Or maybe some other FOD got sucked in . . .

The advance in model jet engine technology has been huge since that guy in England made one in his home garage.
