Video

Wow I was 4-5 when this happend

Nice video. Pleasant evening pastime...

Really enjoyed this video. Can’t get enough of good narrated Roman history...

Thanks for posting, a very interesting scale British jet and well flown.

I am curious about chimneys, I don't see any in the reconstructed roman buildings

Thanks for the video and input. What about the cg? Did you go by the manual or did you move it forward like many others did? I'm trying to gather as much information as possible before I maiden mine, which is built and ready to go. Best regards s and happy landings!

How thrilling it would be to be able to go back in time and see this in person! To walk the streets and smell the smells.

5:27 - No. The ovens did not have their opening at ground level. We know this for a fact. The opening on a typichal roman oven was at least one meter up. Look how traditional neapolitan pizzaovens are constructed and you'll have a clue.

I believe Tin was the main attraction. Julis Caesar two crossings were mainly just to build up Caesar’s image both trips were really failures. The Romans were not really very good in the water sailing the Mediterranean Sea is much easier than the channel. Claudius was a new Emperor also searching for glory. Rome alway has to put more into trying to control Britain it’s the main reason they left as the Empire struggled they simply had to cut their losses in manpower and gold. Had their been silver mines rather than tin mines, things might have been different. Rome never won the north. Britain in my view was a bridge to far for Rome.

Sorry you had that happen. I also suffered a similar failure on my 1st rc plane. Foam wing on a Lanier “slow comet”. POS!!!! Poor Design.

Maybe you can say what are your parameters, i dont get the point of such a video if you dont say how !

Just a little update... As many others have experienced the thrust line for this model is such that when the motor is slowed down or stopped the nose of the model lifts and it will glide a long way with very little speed. Although the problem created when power is on would appear to be what needs fixing that long glide in still air turns quite unpleasant if there is any wind. So, whilst accepting that others have found solutions by altering the thrust line; I have gone a different route and mixed throttle to elevator. This took some trial and error to progressively adjust until the right amount of up elevator was applied at full throttle and the right amount of down elevator at idle. Once done though the Vampire flies very nicely and makes a proper jet like landing with the fan just turning. Regarding the retracts, the replacements have continued to operate correctly to this day and overall the model has performed well.

for over 400 years England was a crucial part of the Roman Empire!!

Excellent video! it gives you an closse up view of a typical Roman frontier settlement and fortification.

Great video 10 out 10 , ive just moved to Middlewich and interesrdd in roman history , are going go be putting any more videos on here , abouf Middlewich history

Thanks IXECSTACYXI . The video did the job in the end and HK replaced them but I had to wait for them to come in stock first. Bad weather and a soggy grass strip since then has prevented me from getting many flights in - I'm hoping they will be okay now though. Thank for your interest.

i took mine apart to fix them. Be careful though, they're very tricky to put back together.

Pleased you found it useful - I will pass on your comments

Great work and very informative.

A few non Tc things have got on the way but I should be getting on with soon.

oh ok ya that makes sense now. thks guys i thoght the air moving through the plane and out the back would make it more stable?

@jamboy156 I'm not entirely sure which "both designs" you are refering to however the yellow Fusion in this video is mine and if you need some more detail of that I'd be happy to let you have it. The other sloper is a Wildthing which is not mine and unfortunately after a very long life has gone to the great slope in the sky, so no more picture of that. I've seen your 1st video, good effort.

can u get pics of both designs cos i'm about to start taping mine.

@sparrowlt I'll let you know!

@IPJnet It would be interesting to see this airfoil profile performance at the slope, as i learned the lesson of how even seemeling similar aifoils have quite diferent performances (i have a Clark-Y and a E374 amogn others for example.. the Clark-Y floats nicely but is slow as a snail and the E374 is like a race car picking speed, and then S6060 is even faster.. and have other foamies wich i dont know what profile they use but even looking similar to E374 they dont are near as eficient

@sparrowlt & @Elamglen. Spot on. The air that passes through the unused duct creates a vortice behind the aeroplane. The vortice causes drag and so slow the aeroplane down. I've now stripped out all the unwanted bits and will soon get started on kitting out the new stuff. I can feel another video coming on :¬) Thanks for your polite and worthwhile comments.

@Elamglen Because if you use it as a slope soarer (glider) and dont block that , it becames basically a big airbrake , slowing down the plane and sow wasting energy gathered (wich is what makes a plane move at the slope)

@Elamglen Thanks for asking and to be honest I wouldn't have thought of it but I have been advised by others that have converted EDF foamies that doing so will stop parasitic drag.

why block off the air intake?

Thanks Tim, If the wind had been blowing from the NE it might have made it home by itself and left me behind.

@gcshawkey Thankyou - looking forward to the next time.

Thanks Mark, glad you like it. When I've sorted through the photos I'll let you know.

Great vid thanks for the warm welcolme we recived on the day Mark "Barnesyboy" Barnes Overlander Display Pilot
