CHALLENGING CROSS WIND LANDING !!! RC de Havilland DH-100 Vampire TURBINE JET
Javad enjoying the Derjet DH-100 Vampire at the NLMFC Scale Day. This model is one of the early protoype kits, built and flown by Dave Wilshere (Motors & Rotors), JetCat P-120SX powered, JR DSX-12 radio, Powerbox Evolution. Because its 'amply' powered, flight times are 10-12minutes, most of the flight is 1/3rd throttle! Fitted with 90 degree airbrakes and four big flaps it can fly very slowly. A bit of drama on the landing due to the cross wind and it was apparent the nose retract hadn't locked! No harm done.

Filmed by Dom Mitchell for the 'Essential RC' YouTube channel at the NLMFC Scale Day with the Panasonic AG-UX180 4K pro camcorder.
