Saturday 12-06-2008 David Searles Testing His New Jet. No problem his Jet only suffered a small amount of damage on this rough landing. This Aircraft has 3 Fuel Tanks so it can stay up longer than others. David Searles is still learning the flying characteristics of this beautiful RC Model… Nice Job keep up the prime time entertainment David.
Looks like this Jet needs to land at high speeds!

Thats what I don’t get about these jets… Taking them off and flying them around is easy… But getting them back down in one piece is a pain in the ass.

OMG, you need to bring that thing in HOT dude, cos you had no wind under them wings, way to slow, go back to gliding, that’s what i do ^^)

rc turbine jets …
rc turbine jets need to have their speed kept up pretty high on landing, it seems like your runway isn’t long enough for jets to land..
it is not the …
it is not the original sound!
i saw others saying …
i saw others saying you cant fly.. they are wrong, and prolly never flew a turbine based plane before. several nice saves. i dunno if i would ever stop shaking after flying one of these. flying area may have had something to do with the landing. poor sorroundings always cause optical illusions while watching the plane. tree’s in background always causes this. “this is why they put leading edge lines on planes! “
That looks insanely …
That looks insanely hard to land. It gets quite tipsy on the roll at low speed although it’s going fast enough! Good on the pilot for pulling up and trying again, patience is a good skill. I’m no pro on RC, but would installing a gyro for roll be an advantage on an expensive and difficult model like this? I guess they’re still being disputed..
shut up u waste man …
shut up u waste man dont dis u trash
The problem was …
The problem was that the model was flying TOO slowly and hence losing directional control, slightly MORE power and a lower angle of attack is the solution as I’m sure the pilot was aware, it’s easier said than done though. Lovely model of the F18, I’m glad it lived to fly another day.
dude shut up. hes a …
dude shut up. hes a great pilot. i know him
