Thank you for your super awesome comment, Charles! (And finally someone noticed the way-too-cool shots of Jan’s A-10 that I took from the approaching end of the runway, I personally think they were the best shots I got last season). Cheers! 😁👍

Thanks :-)

Indeed, both A-10 pilots I know are very skilled scale pilots 😁 Cheers!

I was thinking exactly the same.... What a beautifull A-10 and flying skills

*NEEDS MORE BRRRT*

Smash Marxism, more BRRRRT to follow later this year, stay tuned 🎶😁👍

I came here to comment same. He greased every landing.

Lee, thank you! I appreciate it 😁👍

Martin, I agree! If there is one thing Jan MB is good at, it is throttle management on final approach. Cheers! 😁👍

Thanks 😎

Thank you, and the turbine A-10 is pretty darn cool in my opinion 😎👍

Completely agree 👍

Oh, yes! That’s how they did it with the Gripen back in the days anyways😂👍

@@RCTommy xD

Thanks 😁

cameron300462, thank you for your thorough comment. And you are correct, having fun and getting the model down in one piece is the ultimate goal anyways, and some do it better than others (most do it wrong anyways). We do try to practice correct thrust/pitch control during approach in my club, which has given more confident and better pilots that knows how to manage the power in a critical phase of flight. Cheers! 😊👍

@@RCTommy its also very good training for emergency ( or power-out ) landings too Tommy. Nose slightly down to maintain the same kind of descent you would use in a normal landing setup. Its a real buzz when you get to the point in your flying that you dont need to panic about power loss situations anymore.

Cameron - spot on 👍

avipatable, Thank you for your comment. I truly appreciate it. Mr. Jensen (the large scale MIBO A-10 pilot and builder) is a true veteran in this hobby, and witnessing his models, both on ground and while flying, is always a joy. He’s one of the best scale flying pilots I know (and have learned from). The astro turf runway has the very best surface for RC planes in my opinion. Soft and flat surface with good resistance which helps stopping our planes. The smallest plane that has taken off from the surface is a Eflite UMX Habu 28mm EDF jet, so the surface is perfect for all small (and fairly big) models. I’m really happy that my club decided to re-build our field with the pre-worn artificial grass (which was donated to our field free of charge from a local soccer arena). Cheers!

It’s great watching a good pilot flying a model in a scale fashion - and really nice to see that even smaller models like the P51 on your video can also look very scale too with a smooth runway. That is a great idea and very nice of the football club - it’s really prefect for smaller models, and they look so much more scale when taxing without the bumps! Keep up the good work 

Thanks 😎

They both fly very well. Cheers! 😁👍

Thanks :-)

It is certainly one of my favorite spots to go flying and filming. Cheers! 😁👍

Thank you, I truly appreciate your comment 😁👍

ArcticRc, thank you❤️

I gree, they are really good. More will come within a few weeks. Cheers! 😁👍

Phaedra Degreef, thank you! I’m gonna practise even more on crosswind landings this year. Stay tuned 😊

They are nice, I’d like to get myself a big A-10 like that some day 😁👍

Du kan få kjøpe min, en gang etter JP :) @@RCTommy

xtra330, må bare bli kvitt Volvoen først, så får vi se... 😂

Haha, cheers! 😁👍

Thank you, gavser. Have a good one 😁👍

Danke für deinen Kommentar! Thank you, I truly appreciate your comment. Cheers! 😁👍

Danke 😁

Thank you, Lozzie74, much appreciated. I try my best to capture these moments. Cheers! 😊

Thank you, marios kalogeropoulos! I totally agree, those surfaces makes the best terrain for RC planes (when they are not in the air flying). Cheers! 😎👍

Thank you, Victor! I truly appreciate it 😁👍

Haha😂

Thank you, Jazzman3121 😁👍

Norman Mendonca, thanks, mate! Luckily, most pilots got home with their planes in one piece last season. The few unlucky ones got back in the air shortly after (but with a different model obviously). Cheers from the other side of the world (Norway)! 😁👍

Thank you for your comment. It made my day. More videos to come soon (maybe even the long awaiting episode 4 of "Will it crash?"). Cheers! 😁👍

That A-10 overhead shot is my most favourite shot of this season, so thank you for mentioning it. Cheers! 😁👍

Thank you so much, it really means a lot to me. Cheers! 😁👍

Thank you, much appreciated. Cheers!

Airguardian, thank you!! 😁 Time froze and I focused on getting the plane in frame... Would have died (inside) if he’d hit me 😂

@RC Tommy That's the spirit of a true filmmaker... video goes first safety later! (JK, take care!)😉

ariane11970, they both do 😁👍

Thanks 😎

We try to fly as good as we can😎 The white lines on our airfield is a bi-product we got for free when we «adopted» the already worn down artificial grass from a local soccer field. Next season we may try to cover up these white stripes and add correct runway markings (if we feel like it). Thank you for your comment, cheers! 😁👍

He’s the same pilot that flies the turbine A-10 as well😎 Cheers!

@@RCTommy Yeah that guy was a Close 2nd...haha Nice Controlled Landings my Friend. i've spent alot of my R/C Flying just perfecting my Landings in all wind conditions so i know what looks right...

Thanks 🤡

Always happy to talk. I’ve never been to Greece or Italy, but I’ve visited France once. All seems like beautiful countries. You’re lucky to have such good weather, it’s still winter and snow up here. But hey, spring/summer will come to us too eventually. Cheers!

Thank you, I will definately do that this summer. Cheers! 😁👍

Thank you, vontressler1! ❤️

Thank you 😁👍

Thank you, James. I agree, they are great at flying 😁 Cheers!

Don Kopp, thank you 😁👍

Thank you, it truly is! 😊

Thank you, Det Chris. More videos to come soon. Cheers! 😁👍

More will come soon. Thank you for watching 😁👍

@@RCTommy Har håller ni till?

Vi holder til 10 minutter syd for Kongsberg i Buskerud (Norge). Jetflyplassen ligger ved Fyresdal i Telemark.

@@RCTommy Ah, ser ut och vara härliga fält ni har. Hälsningar från Sverige 😬

Thank you for your comment! Tusen takk 😁👍

DAV TECH, thank you! We’ve put a lot of hard work and effort into creating the airfield and the surrounding area is very nice and open for RC flying😊

​@@RCTommy I wish i had a airfield like yours here, great job! ;) (oh and great vids btw, i love the quality and the content!)

DAV TECH, Thank you, I truly appreciate your comment!😁👍

I’m glad you enjoyed it! Cheers😁👍

Thank you, and no offense taken! I totally agree😃 (PS, the guy flying the FW can handle most planes, but that FW is just a tad tricky to land, a true Monday plane😂).

Thank you, Tomek😊👍

Thank you, I try my best 😁👍

I would love to get your F-16 in shot again later, with the iGyro installed! Nice save😁👍

Thank you, darrellid😁👍 PS: I’ll make sure that the daredevil Corsair pilots take better care of their models in the future😎😉

@@RCTommy Or just talk Jan into adopting one of the F4Us. He seems to like American birds, anyway.

Indeed it was challenging, yet so much fun😁 Cheers!

Indeed, last summer was nice, but very windy 😁

Agreed, and not so strange when I tell you it’s the same pilot (he’s also flying the little red hawk). Cheers! 😁👍

Thank you, KUKUTA KUKUTA. I really appreciate your comment. More to come soon, cheers! 😁👍

Chris An, takk 😁👍

@@RCTommy synd det ikke er noe rc miljø her hvor æ bor. Har nettopp begynt med fly selv

I know, right? 😂 Best kind of stealth technology😁

Yup! But then again, rough life = more challenging = more fun (if you learn how to manage power and rudder correctly, ofcourse) 😎👍

@@RCTommy and all the sick ww2 warbirds save the p38 and p61 (I guess p39 too but not my definition of sick) were tail draggers!

Thank you, there will be more videos like this soon😊👍

Andreas Korsnes, takk for det! 😁 Vi holder til 15 minutter syd for Kongsberg i Buskerud. Asfaltstripa er på Fyresdal i Telemark. 😊

I think thats just how the swedish brakes works... From wingtip to wingtip😂

Indeed. But the artificial grass actually works really well if you apply just a little bit more elevator than you would on a harder surface. I’ve flown both a Fw-190A and a tiny (1.1m) Spitfire Mk Vb from this surface with scale takeoff and landing with no problem. It’s not easy, but looks super cool when done correctly! Cheers! 😁👍

Thank you! The jet airfield is located at Fyresdal in Telemark county, Norway. The other airfield (with artificial grass) belongs to my local club and is located 15 minutes south of the Norwegian town Kongsberg. Anyone interested in jets and RC planes are welcome here 😁 Cheers!

Mike W, Thank you! I use the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2500 (also known as DMC-FZ2000), 1080p@60FPS, 100mbps 😊

@@RCTommy Thanks for your reply 👍

Haha, someone should make an episode on that case😂

Haha😁 Gotta love that movie 😎👍

Good question, Michael. I actually use a fairly cheap microphone which someone online recommended specifically for my camera: Røde VideoMicro! It is exceptionally good paired with my camera (Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2000/FZ2500) if you remember to use the «dead cat» (wind reduction sock) that comes with it. Some did tell me to beware of unwanted noise since the Røde VideoMicro is a dynamic microphone (does not need external battery/power supply). Some Sony cameras are known to have a really bad inboard sound recording chip, which makes a lot of static noise when paired with this mic. However, the Panasonic Lumix built in audio recording chip makes no noticable static noice what so ever. The Røde VideoMicro may work fine with any other camera, but I have personally only used it with my Panasonic Lumix camera. If you have tried using a dynamic mic and you get static noise, please consider using a condenser microphone (mic with separate power supply) instead. They are way more pricy though. Hope that helps. Cheers!😊👍

@@RCTommy - Thanks for the great reply! One mic I've looked at is the Rode Video Mic Pro Plus which has it's own pre-amp. However, I've also getting a lot of recommendations for various Sennheiser microphones.

Both Sennheiser and Røde works great for what we shoot, so I’m sure you’ll be happy with either choise.

The A-10 (foam) is a Freewing 80mm with two JetCat P20SX gas turbines, the large A-10 is from MiboJets and the green viper is a Taft Viper with a Lambert T35 Kolibri micro gas turbine. Cheers! 😊

Our home base is located 15 minutes south of Kongsberg, Norway, which is a fairly small country far north in Europe😁

Your observations are correct😎 The small one is JanMB’s Freewing A-10 with two JetCat P20SX micro gas turbines😁 You can read more about his project here: facebook.com/FreewingA10TurbineConversion/

Tomek Sz, thank you! 😁 The runway is 108 meters long and 16 meters wide, covered with worn down artificial grass donated from a local soccer field. Cheers!

xbpbat21x, good one 😂👍
