Ian Pearse 12 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 This little gem was on the cover disk from PC Pilot this month. Looks nice, but haven't flown it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Smith 1116 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Is the the VB SD Vampire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Pearse 12 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 It's a Venom FB4. Has the option of bombs, rockets or fuel tanks... VC is not brilliant but usable. Can't get the engine started, have to use Ctrl+E which is a shame. Will try flying later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Pearse 12 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 In addition this little beauty, there is also a demo of the JF Lightning. Limited to 1000 feet altitude but otherwise fully functional... may have a spin in that too later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Smith 1116 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Just bite the bullet and buy the Lightening, you cant do it any justice limiting it to 1000' Venom Vampire they're all the same lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Pearse 12 Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Flies nicely - accelerates and turns very well, quite manoueverable. Not so good at slowing down though - very slippery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Smith 1116 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Air brakes? Pretty sure they were fitted outboard of the flaps Edit: After much trawling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Pearse 12 Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Yes, air brakes are fitted - the only way to lose any real speed. Makes landings an extremely interesting planning exercise, trying to make sure speed is in the correct range well before turning final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
