The landing that was never going to be a landing ... frightening indeed :ph43r:

You can see why ?

No airbrakes, No flap, No glide slope attitude ... I guess you can only wish for an arrestor ... Whoops No Hook ... maybe a Chute :unsure:

Just go around and put the aircraft in the proper landing configuration that is of cause if you have enough fuel left with one of those to do a go around :unsure:

What the pilots called on landing "The Frightning"

While we are on the subject of Lightnings.... I met somebody in the weekend who is building a 1/4 scale twin turbo jet RC model FMk6 based on a similar model that has flown in England...now that will be impressive to see...

Hope you got some secret squirrel photos :ph43r:

that would be amazing to see!

no unfortunately...just saw the thousands of parts he had made which require assembly on his phone

The jet engines alone would be worth into the 10,000 price range unless there has been a Lightning Sale, would great to see the gradual build and headaches involved

Yeah not sure on cost - wont be cheap..he already has a Grumman Panther RC model of about the same scale (and a stunning Beech 18, Lysander and Sopwith Pup)

Crikey it would be great to see the 'Lightning' in amongst that lot , .... a well groomed (I really like that) Marty would not have a problem landing his T4/5 .

That Beech is impressive , .... the Panther , whats needed now is a slow moving aircraft carrier to suit to drive through the long grass, don't want to damage a Panther :unsure:

, arrestor wires and all the whooflar B-)

Actually that Beech 18 isn't his I noticed but its very similar ...the Panther is though
