  • @jodypootic Thankyou for your kind words. It did look good and flew as well as it looked. Much missed ----.

  • Superb aeroplane, really sorry to hear about it's demise. I saw the articles of the build when I was buying the mags a few years ago and eagerly awaited to see it fly. Alot has happened since then and this is the first time Iv'e seen it in action, it must have looked so good in the flesh! Great landing too!

  • Lovely...We here have 3 full-size Hunters our Lebanese Air Force uses on Parade Days and other shows from time to time...They even armed them and used them for eliminating an armed terrorist group compound in 07. Let me just say this model looks and sounds absolutely like the real thing...I just love the classic lines of the Hunter.

    U just gave me a big push to start building one...probably 1/5 scale..

    Thanks for the video.

  • It takes many years of practice with radio-control models to judge what the speed is remotely. The aircraft's attitude, perspective and the clues as to what happens when it begins to approach the stall, are all crucial.

    Safe to say, many model aircraft are lost in the long and heartbreaking process of learning this skill.

    Other dangers also lurke and sad to say this aeroplane was destroyed with a partial radio system failure last year.

  • Brilliant! What I always wonder is how you guys guage the correct approach speed to achieve the type of landings as in this video? It's hard enough in the real thing so doing it "from afar" is quite amazing! Superb !

  • If it wasn't for the Gigantour people and grass on the runway, I wouldn't have known this wasn't the real thing.

  • Stunning! and flown very well too.

  • wow that is one BIIGG plane!!

  • Bloody sounds like the real thing!

  • The bigger the aeroplane, whether model or fullsize, the slower it appears to move/fly. It's a perceptual thing. The circuits being flown in the video are ~ 1000m in extent.
