Good video, enjoyed that. Not sure on the music though..

I bought a 60" basic trainer a few months back, servos for throttle, ailerons, rudder, flaps.

My next purchase is going to be
(predictably) an ARTF mk 9 Spitfire. 1400 wingspan, weight 1600g, with retractable u/c.

The Spit will be ordered from FMS as
they were very courteous & professional.

Edit: (elevator also fitted to trainer)

Have been looking into a FPV setup for my planes but struggling as mine are all on 2.4GHz radio gear. Upping the frequency lowers the range (which is pretty marginal in the UK anyway). The US allows you to use 900MHz which can give monster ranges - but not allowed here
