Model is a Comp-arf Eurosport, picked it up off a friend but the model had never flown, what had been installed was rather poor, so I set about stripping it all out and starting fresh.
Added modifications are the working air brake and full scale intakes, it was these two items that created the major headaches, anyway I overcame, added extra details like the camera pod, air to air refuelling cover, night light marker panels.
Radio gear - JR with Savox high end servo's, Demon Cortex gyro, Powerbox dual switch, Jeti batteries for avionic's.
Engine - Jetcat 180RXi turbine downrated to 160 until I know how thirsty it is, full fuel load is 4.4 litres plus hooper tank.
Twin Gaspar afterburner rings.
I painted as a tribute to the D day Hawker Typhoons of WWII, hence the different markings on either side, paint used is Klass Kote, I used a mixture of home made graphic's using my vinyl plotter to make the paint masks and finer graphic's came from Nigel at Flightline graphic's.
Finally thanks to Rob Bennet and Mark Brown for the photo's.
As for the flights, first one was a combination of nerves lol and a very twitchy model, in fact extremely twitchy, but once this has been dialled down a bit it became more manageable, next flight after some ground alterations things became a lot more smoother.
