Great show! Darn Josh B, between this episode and the PTS Mustang, you've really greased a couple landings.
I loved the sound of this EDF. It's not as high pitched and whiney as most.
All in all, a very impressive show!

Yes the show was very good. I don't know why but I liked it more than the other recent ones. Probably because I like the plane also. Hopefully it won't get in the De-Warehouse in the near future. Shouldn't spend such huge amounts of money. (Just bought most of the things for a "David Windestall" Tricopter V2.5)
Yeah, it sounds good for an EDF.

Great Job on this one.... Will defintly put this one on my want list. Great flying plane (or at least Josh makes it look good).

The Vampire in Australia
The De Havilland Vampire was the first jet used by the Royal Australian Airforce. We even built them here. I remember seeing this one http://www.saam.org.au/ourvampire.html when it was used as a display outside the S.A. Air Training Corps in Adelaide South Australia. Always has been a very beautiful and unusual jet. The review was almost enough to persuade me to buy one, but not ready for edf yet.
Cheers

Fantastic episode and a great flying plane. As others have commented, it sounds really good too. I'm not overly taken by the look/shape though...
Ah, just realised what it is that doesn't feel right. It's the outlet, which of course needs to be the way it is. Here I was thinking I wasn't a scale type of guy...

I like the prospect of it being a not-so-underpowered edf model from Hobbyking. That's the biggest downfall to a lot of the cheaper receiver-ready jets offered anywhere. You end up dropping money on a new power system with so many that they aren't nearly the good deal you thought. If this actually can carry itself with some authority like Josh describes, I'll be keeping my eyes open for it!
I definitely like the different look of it too,

Not sure what Joab was thinking... I'll ask. That's funny. Maybe he just went with the suggestions from YouTube.
Who ever does a YouTube search for "fixed-wing aircraft"?

It might be a left over from previous episodes that had UFO connections. Some of the night flying ones would apply.
Or underwood?
