	Pulsejet-powered Long-EZ (part 1) Posted by: xjet Video duration: 320 seconds What does a pulsejet-powered Long-EZ ARF look like? Well it looks like this (at least for now). Will it fly?

	Tiny turbine-powered RC plane crashes Posted by: xjet Video duration: 356 seconds Is this the smallest turbine-powered RC model airplane you've ever seen? It flies pretty well, until the second flight. Related: airplane, crash, f4, jet, model, phantom, rc, swmac, tokoroa, turbine

	Model jet crashes and burns Posted by: xjet Video duration: 290 seconds Back in 2003 this model went down at the SWMAC November turbine meeting. After an engine flame-out it hit hard and eventually the liquid propane tank spewed its contents into the smoldering wreckage. Boy do these guys know how to have fun!

Uh-oh, deadstick in a 20knot cross-wind
Posted by: xjet

Video duration: 282 seconds

20knot winds, a cheap ARF, a powerful engine and a tuned pipe spell: FUN!
We clocked this plane on the radar at over 175kph on a calm day (that's 110mph), not bad for a trainer!

$The Piper Cub, an old-man\$

The Piper Cub, an old-man's RC plane
Posted by: xjet

Video duration: 201 seconds

(Formerly) Ace Flier thinks his 1/4-scale World Models Piper Cub is actually a cross between a pylon racer and an IMAC aerobatics plane. Just as well that ASP180 is fed with a good diet of our excellent fuel.
Doesn't he fly it just like the real thing?

Posted by: xjet

Video duration: 501 seconds

Another hard-core flier from the SWMAC in Tokoroa NZ, Richard experiences a little flutter at high speed. Includes a special guest appearance by Ron (aka "stumpy").
This plane has been clocked by radar at more than 180KPH on a calm day -- that's over 110MPH. How fast does your trainer fly?

ANZAC model jet meeting in Tokoroa 2008
Posted by: xjet

Video duration: 563 seconds

This is the annual ANZAC RC model jet flier's meeting held every year in Tokoroa New Zealand.
This year the weather went from tropical downpour, to gale-force winds, to beautiful sunshine, all in a very short space of time.
But that's no problem for the hardy Kiwis who won't let a little thing like weather stop them from flying.

	Long EZ RC model airplane crashes on maiden flight Posted by: xjet Video duration: 164 seconds This is what happens if you run your receiver antenna too close to the aileron extensions and ignore a marginal range-check before the maiden flight Why don't RC systems ever glitch up?

Pulsejet dragster
Posted by: xjet

Video duration: 75 seconds

Check interestingprojects. com and aardvark.co.nz/pjet for more info on this vehicle. New Zealand's Missileman built what is probably the world's only twin-pulsejet-powere d dragster. Temuera Morrison (the actor who played Jango Fett in Star Wars) takes the ride of his life on this crazy-dangerous machine. Check the other vids in my channel for more stuff like this.
