Title: 2 metre Avanti sport jet converted to electric
Post by: DominicM on August 15, 2022, 02:51:34 PM
Latest flight of my 2 metre Avanti sport jet running a Schubeler EDF system. Equivalent to a 90N turbine system so flies well now I have reduced the flight pack to 14S6000.

Fantastic!
The views from the camera following the Avanti were even better than (dare I say it?) the Spitfire videos!
What aircraft was the chase camera on?
Regards

A 6S race quad. Fast but not for very long. For those sequences I was flying at half throttle so he could keep up.

BTW, I noticed that that you’ve posted over 900 posts in the last 8 years, or 2-3 every week.
How on earth did you find this (relatively obscure) forum way back in 2014?
Do you have many viewers/followers in India?
I do remember the days when you were not quite the accomplised pilot you now are...
Regards

Must have found it via Google and enjoy contributing my work of the users on this forum. I certainly do have quite a few followers from India. That's the great thing about YouTube. I get messages from all around the world about this global hobby we share.
