Javad,
Congratulations on a successful first flight, it looks superb, even better in the air.
I am looking forward to seeing the Phantom at a forthcoming meeting.

The video was just some clips a member did on his phone. We will get a full flight video soon.

Hello Alistair,
Many thanks, yes, I hope to see you soon too, though it looks we are not having "Classic Jets" due to film making issue, but there are some other chances if Covid allow,
Stay Safe,

It’s been on the cards, but difficult with COVID in a club set up.

Another trimming flight today in gusty/thermal conditions, it really is light! Shows a gyro would make a big difference. Javad finally got his hands on the Tx for a flight...his heart rate was his usual super high figure!!
Turbine issues stopped more flights at the time I left the field.
Thanks to Greg for videoing today’s first flight.

Congratulations, Nicely done. Few things are sexier than an F4 on short final. Time to dirty up the belly a lil bit to finish the process.

It was a great day, and I did my first full flight with F-4. Most you see on this clip, specially all low pass, and dirty turns are Dave's flight. I need to join a year Yoga to lower my hearth bits to fly as low as Dave fly ;-)),
