Full Hotspot flight

This is a full flight of my Graupner HotSpot R/C jet, with a PST Jets - J1300R turbine.

Thanks to Sean J for shotting this at the Princeton Jet rally, 2006.

Retracts (Robart) ~$400 Wheels n brakes (Trim Aircraft) ~$350 Turbine (PST J1300R): $2895US Radio (Futaba 9CAP) ~$400 Servos (Hitec / Volz) and other masc. hardware ~$1000 Batteries (Duralite / Sanyo) $220 Glue / Fiberglass / Paint $400 Plus a bunch of other small items that I'm not remembering at the moment. Sheesh, I hope my wife doesn't see this! :o)

It is great to finally see a Hotpot video (or any turbine RC jet video for that matter) without the TOP GUN soundtrack..

Great video!

I enjoyed the film, No annoying rock music, and the camera followed the action pretty smoothly. And the film ended when the jet touched down.

Cool.
