A few Photos of the "Magnificent Beastie" I got Marvin to take when we weren't flying the Gulfstream. I'll get the video done maybe tomorrow. Would love to get equipment like Marvin has but blew my photography budget years ago on 8 different Nikon/Nikonos underwater cameras, 20 different lens's, housings, 8 UW strobes and print enlarging equipment, all unfortunately for FILM and never went to digital. Almost impossible to even get film these days. Had some of my stuff published in Skin Diver and even have about 60 wildlife photos somewhere in the Library of Congress. But that's another life. And Alpha keeps coming up with aircraft I have to get and would much rather "fly than fotograph".

Finally Got the Beast video done. This is just an awesome flying aircraft. Haven't flown it in a long time, but gotta get it out more. Been spending a lot of time with the EDF's, but an occasional Beast sighting is well worth it!

I did a quick head-tracking FPV conversion on another EDF jet - happen to be also a Xfly - the Sirius. Unfortunately, the canopy was not clear enough to see through for flying so left it off. But otherwise it's super stable as an FPV platform. No FC or gyro needed. I did mod the nozzle size down to get more speed and efficiency. Stock nozzle size was way too big. Enjoy!

F4U Ausie,
Being able to hold altitude bang on, first time at the controls is truly impressive! Congrats on checking off another item on the bucket list. Too much fun!
I would not be content to do it once and reminisce. And renting full scale planes on a regular basis is out of my paygrade So I settle for the next best thing. Flying from my model cockpits using head-tracking FPV, visually any way. I set up my planes really simple, no flight controller, no gyro even. Just install a FPV camera with pan & tilt and hook up to corresponding channels setup for head-tracker in transmitter and go fly. Lots of fun! Here's one practicing precision aerobatics from the cockpit. Enjoy!
