i built this from poster board a few months ago. It's delta-wing jet for the park. I love it; it's not too fast but it performs like a high-end jet. This was the first (and only) video of it flying so it doesn't do it justice. It turns like if it had vectored thrust: in a dime. I can slow it down to a crawl under high-alpha and fly it in moderate wind speeds. Anyways, down to the good stuff, the video:

It went inverted like 15 feet off the deck. Nice flying kill, and I'm amazed that you were able to take such good video with the camera mounted to the TX.  Ifly |

Worst thing about filming like this, just can't see the details. At least you got a decent close up landing on yours. I've gotta practice!  And.... Are you launching over-arm? I tend to launch under-arm, gives me better control. |

That's a great model.
The filmography left a bit to be desired, though. ;-)

I tend to launch under-arm, gives me better control. That foamie has a fuse over the wing so I have to grab onto the top and swing it under. It has nothing to grab underneath. |

Trying to fly, and keep the subject roughly in the picture, is really hard work! 100% concentration on the plane and another 20% on filming means that, for me (having done it myself), its a pretty good piece of work! |

I'm just pulling your legs for trying to film with your transmitters.
Pretty good work, all things considered.
The "jet" is pretty awesome for such a simple aircraft.
