Shane's Dad and Seamus took some of our spectators
for a flight. |
Cruising up the strip you would be forgiven for
thinking this was fullsize rather than a T-Rex
sized electric powered model. |
 |
 |
John's twin EDF F15, we can't wait to see this
in the air. |
The cool winter air didn't stop flying over
the Christmas Holiday time. |
 |

Leo has his 'Bossanova' ready to fly, and it flew
very well on Sunday.
Similar in size to a 'Hype' but it has its own
character - amply powered by the new OS55. |
Seamus sent a few pictures of his Bobcat conversion,
now test flown and a complete success. |
 |
 |
Tidy installation, model weighs 9lbs and runs for
about 7 mins on a tank of fuel. |
Our latest Jet Pilot learning the ropes |
 |

And our JWM pilot trying mode 2 control |
Tiny Biplane of balsa and ply construction,
around 20" span
and weighing under 300gm. E-flight outrunner with a 9x4.7 prop
and a 2 cell 1300mAh LiPo battery.
Easy take-off from grass, lively performance in a gentle breeze. |

Hirobo Lepton on a low pass. |
| Raptor 30 with a difference: the photograph doesn't do
justice to the paint job.
Blades, paddles, tailboom and skids all matching the
first class finish on the canopy. |

Kestrels MFC site is probably the only grass flying strip in
Northern Ireland where you will regularly see (and hear)
model Jet flying; this Boomerang, powered by a Jetcat P80,
never fails to get an audience from near and far.
Thanks to Davy for the photograph. |
A new secret design lightweight indoor aircraft
delivery for the man with the flying wings.
Special Delivery wasn't up to the job
since they damaged the last one.... |
 |
|
One of the Jetcat P80s on the test bench. |
Nice scale detail in this cockpit. |
 |
|
More Turbine tests - a Wren this time - throttle trim
forward, stick up, stick down and off it goes.....
Idles at 45,000 RPM, full throttle runs up to
130,000 RPM.
The 1.2l tank empties in less than 10 minutes. |
Congratulations to Harry as he receives
his BMFA helicopter 'A' certificate.
Obviously encouraged by this he has been
burning a lot of fuel and has now passed
his 'B' as well - congratulations!
Autorotations no problem to him now... |
