Join me on an epic journey as I unveil our next project...a scratch-build that in fact started about 5-years ago! In light of recent events (fairwell B-58😥) it was time to revive this 80mm EDF F4D Skyray project and get her flown and all dressed up for the ball! Watch as we take it to the skies for its first flights and share some of the details of the project. I'll have even more detail on the project as well as feature all of the detail and finish work in a coming video, so stay tuned!

The F.E.8 was an early British "scout" aircraft, designed from the outset as a single-seat fighter. This example designed and scratch-built by the pilot Keith Numbers was an exceptional model. At 1/3 scale, it has a 120” span and weighs about 32 lbs. The engine is a Rotomotor 85FSI inline twin 4-stroke, swinging a 26x8 pusher prop which sounds awesome in flight! I love seeing unique models like this at events. SEE MORE!

As has been said, "a scale model is never finished, you just stop working on it." And while I've been flying this Jet Hangar A-7 Corsair II for 15+, years, I technically stopped working on it in 2019 after getting the model ready for the US Scale Masters Championships. While EDF powered now, it started out turbine powered and has shown its versatility through the years with different powerplants. I has also had numerous lives since it's maiden flight which in some cases required serious repairs. Through it all, this is still one of my favorite models to fly though I don't get to fly it as often as I'd like to. It's a little quirky in the air based on its configuration, but looks so darn cool in flight! SEE MORE!

Well, my RC B-58 Hustler flew and she flew great!...until she didn't.😔 Putting this video together is probably one of the hardest ones I've done to date. Join me and find out what what happened and how the maiden flight ended. I will revisit this one again, it is just too darn cool of an airplane not to! But for now, it's time to move on to the next build. A big thank you to Brian Smith for helping video and John Pryor, his son, and everyone at the airport for their search and rescue operations!

Welcome to the final build chapter in our RC B-58 Hustler build series! Join me in this journey as I discuss the secrets behind the Aircraft Alchemy that created the entire finish! In this video we go through the installation of LED nav lights, the center weapons pod, and the meticulous process of painting the entire airframe in the proper Federal Standard colors and various shades of ALCLAD2 paints to achieve a very convincing and realistic looking metallic finish.

In this latest video, we're featuring this sweet 1/9 scale Yellow Aircraft F-15 twin EDF model. The model started as a botched kit build and was completely rebuilt by Mike Greathouse replacing the entire internal structure with a lighter combination of birch ply, carbon, and glassed balsa formers. This allowed the opportunity to move the gear and fans to clear up space for the inlets and batteries. Enjoy this impressive aircraft in action!

I love showcasing unique projects and this is something that I think takes the cake from the EDF jet jam! Designed and built by my friend Bret Becker and nicknamed the "FireFly", the intricate craftsmanship and engineering prowess behind this remarkable little model is quite incredible. It is based on the JMP Firebird sport jet design only at a fraction of the size! So, join me as Bret talks about the design and layup process he went through to create this cutting-edge carbon fiber UMX jet and enjoy a beautiful flight showcasing the excellent flight performance.

If you saw my latest B-58 Hustler video (https://youtu.be/Xun3Iig__aY ) then you know that not every first flight attempt goes perfect. But, there's always a lesson to learn...plus, we got some super cool footage in the process like this drone clip. While not a successful takeoff, I'm confident that the model will be flying soon with a couple tweaks currently in work. Check out the ongoing build series here ➡️ https://bit.ly/RCB58Build
