Wow! What a show it was. It had everything...and I filmed most of it.

This is ace pilot Martin Pickering flying the CARF Ultra Lightning sport jet like he stole it.

Jase Dussia ROCKS the crowd at Weston Park International Model Show with his laws of physics bending aerobatics that threaten to snap the airframe at several times during his routine!

Thanks for sharing Dom

As if one Moki radial powered model was not enough. How about two? These are Hughes H-1 Racers as seen in the film 'Aviator' with Leonardo Di Caprio.

Gunter the inventor of Smoke-EL has been to Weston Park International Model Show a few years now and always gives a great demonstration of his products. This electronic smoke system gives a very cool pipe like smoke trail, perfect for wing tips.

There is even a G-activated version...that I will share very soon...that would mounted on a large scale Rafale jet model.

Superb demonstration of this giant scale Rafale from Aviation Jets. This monster sized jet is powered by a Kingtech K310 jet turbine engine. Has 6 high torque Mks servers routed into a Powerbox system complimented by a Gyro Bavarian Demon Cortex for stability.

This Smoke-EL device’s GF-SmokeDriver is equipped with a 3-axis MEMS sensor which measures the force perpendicular to the plane’s wing. The G-Force that acts on the Jet in tight curves or loopings will automatically activate the smoke device and in turn deactivate it once the force is no longer active. Thus you can imitate a real jet’s wake turbulence. The force that is necessary to activate the smoke device is configurable but was 4G on this flight. The sensor can be adjusted from 2 – 7g (1g is the acceleration through the earth’s gravitation at the earth’s surface. 1g = 9.81m/s).

I have always liked the shape of this aircraft, another on the build list
Thanks for sharing

There's no pilot in the 'office' - and I thought that when a high perf jet pulled G, the vapour began at the leading edge roots, and formed over the whole of the upper surface of the wing, not just the tips.
The tip vapour only appears at high A low speeds, because the air has time to roll along the LE and escape.
Good gimmick, though.

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

another great video D, i do believe your getting better every time, must agree with eric although they look like the real thing a pilot would add that final touch. when can we see some more ww1 aircraft? thanks for posting, boz. :) :) :) :)

The vapour sometimes seen around the wing of a full sized aircraft is caused by the local air pressure falling to a point where the dew point matches the air temperature and therefore, water vapour forms. On a wing, there is normally low pressure above and high pressure below, but there are areas where the pressure can, locally, be lower or higher. On some aircraft it's close to the root, on others it's at the tip, it depends very much on the shape of the wing. The common factor is when the angle of attack is increased, normally at high speed but it can be seen sometimes on the approach, the vortexes over the wing show up as water vapour is formed.

As you say, Eric, it's a good gimmick, but it would be better tied into angle of attack rather than G.

Marcus Rummer back with his CARF Rookie, but with more power and more extreme aerobatics at Weston Park International Model Show.
