Electric Ducted Fan powered jet,designed and flown by Gordon Whitehead at the Woodsprings E-flight meeting held in Somerset at the Woodsprings club,20th August 2006.
Well done guys for an amazing video and superb flying of the RC Lightning!
I had the honour of seeing a Lightning fly at Speke Airshow in Liverpool back in 1983 and it blew me away - especially the vertical climb, WOW! I had my picture taken with the same Lightning after it's dispaly when my dad, who is an ex RAF firefighter, managed to get access onto the hardstanding near the fire station afterwards.
Apparently ther are 4 Lightnings in South Africa that fly as a display team, is that correct?
Well flown and well done to the cameraman for keeping it in shot. It can certainly fly fast. I did some work on the Lightenings back in the 60's so I have been in the cockpit but not flown in one...a gr8 mach 2 aircraft.
i would love to have one of these...
