New HD flight videos are
now up and running. As some of these files can exceed 100Mb, its
a good idea to right click on the link and 'save target as'.

Low Flying
Gallery
I
now have my photo gallery up and running. This includes
photographs and videos of military aircraft which I've shot at
some of the low flying areas in Wales and also from Airshows
across the UK. Check out the LowFly/Wales page for more information on where these
photos are
taken and what equipment is necessary for a visit.

I started out
in Radio Control flying back in 2002. My first model was
the Multiplex Twinjet. This probably wasn't the best
plane to start off with (it goes out of sight pretty
quick) but I managed ok and it wasn't long before the RC
bug set in. I stuck with the stock Twinjet for a few
months but decided to try her out using brushless
power. I was amazed to see the difference in
performance and how much flight duration increased using
the much more efficient motors.
Over
the years I've gained quite a collection of aircraft.
I've decided to stick with electric power, its cleaner,
much nicer to work on (for me anyway) and its also much
quieter. I run all my models using brushless motors and
lipo batteries, the days of the old brushed motors and
heavy Nicad batteries will soon be a thing of the past.
The largest model I have is the P40 Warhawk from Hangar
9. This is about as big as I'd like to go, with its 60"
wingspan its a fair old size and will need a hefty motor
and 6s lipo to fly.
For information on how to get started in RC flying check

Latest Easystar creations |
 |
|
|
This is what happens when your a
huge Easystar fan.
Here's the Swept Wing Easystar designed by Hypoxic of
RCGroups. Run on a brushless setup and 3s lipo, the
Swept wing EZ flew fantastic and had a great Lightning
jet look to it. Check out the video trailer in my latest
videos.
I've recently completed the new Twin Boom P38 style EZ.
Built up from three Easystars, I'm running a single
Faigao brushless motor with a 4.4:1 gearbox, and a
Graupner 13x7 carbon folding prop. I've installed
ailerons which will also be used as flaperons, and I've
enlarged both rudders.
She has a 74" wingspan and an AUW of just over 1700g.
I'm hoping to use this Easystar as my new AP/AV
platform, which will hopefully include Panasonics new
HDC-SD5 HD camcorder. Check out the latest videos to see
her in action.

page. |

Latest RC plane...Ripmax BF-109E |
|
|
Its been a long time coming, but
the new BF-109 from Ripmax looks superb. I'm a huge fan
of the Spitfire, so I'm hoping the 109 will perform just
as well. I'm running an AXI 2820/10 brushless motor,
Castle Creations 45Amp speed controller and a Flightpower 3s 3700 25C
lipo. She requires 4 HS-81 type servo's and a 10x7 APCE
prop.
The weather in Wales is still wet and windy, so the maiden
flight probably won't happen until it improves, so
fingers crossed.
I'll post more photos and information soon. |

Multiplex Cularis |
|
|
The Multiplex Cularis is a
high performance glider made up from Elapor. It can be built up
as a glider, or an electric glider. I'm running mine as
an electric glider and using an AXI 2826/10 brushless
motor a Graupner 12x7 folding prop and a Flightpower 25C 3s 2500mAh lipo battery.
This setup generates around 40Amps so a 45Amp ESC is
recommended.
It requires 6 servo's altogether, two for the ailerons,
two for the flaps and one for each of the rudder and
elevator. |

Graupner Extra 300S |
|
|
|
Built from an all-wood balsa/plywood
construction with laser cut components, the Extra 300s is a
lovely ARTF model from Graupner. Powered by Graupner's Compact
350 brushless motor and a 3s 2500mah lipo, the Extra is capable
of virtually all aerobatic manoeuvres. Both wings are removable
for ease of transport, and the removable canopy allows for easy
access to the battery, receiver and ESC.
The Extra is currently one of the worlds finest aerobatic
aircraft, designed and built by Walter Extra.
