This is on the YAK 130 made by RUSJETclub from Russia. Vitaliy has put lots of efforts into this project and this plane like a 1:4 mirror from the real one.
This plane should be a pearl of this competition.
@deweyd thanks for putting out information about the event. its quite intresting to hear information about all of the competitor teams.

MESSAGE FROM SOUTH AFRICAN MODEL JET COMITTEE

Dear Members, Friends and Family,

There's some good news from Green County, Dayton, Ohio.

 With reasonably limited resources, Dylan has managed to repair his DH115 Vampire to a state of air worthiness. The rudders and vertical fins were quite badly damaged but, by spending the entire Monday on it, he managed to get it back together. On Tuesday he test flew the aircraft with great success - so Dylan is back in the competition. At the time of writing, he is in the queue to enter the static part of the competition.

As Mark's aircraft is completely broken and unrepairable, our friends from Team America offered Mark a Skymaster F16 painted in the red,white and blue centenary colours to fly in the competition. This aircraft does have limited documentation, having been flown at Top Gun this year. Mark has managed to put a couple of test flights on the aircraft today.
 This is obviously not ideal, considering two years familiarity with the Vampire. We are very grateful to Tommy Yates the (Team USA Manager) who made this offer on behalf of Scott Harris, whose back-up aircraft it was.

As for Francois, his aircraft also being beyond repair, has taken himself and Sarah, with their supporters away for a break.

Official flying starts tomorrow, Thursday afternoon, but we do not expect any results until completion of round one.

Dylan has promised to put some pics on the SAMJA web page.

Thank you for all the well-wishes and interest, we really appreciate it.

Here is today's video update from Scott!!

I see that 'tip-over' all too often from those F-16 models on landing. I wonder if it's from brake sensitivity, or if the Pilots don't bleed off enough speed before trying to turn? Still a nice jet though.

Hi Guys,

Sebas F-16 is ready for competition, he has repaired the tail and called me just in time to bring all the stuff we need to paint the model....So I have repainted the tail and nothing is visible of the damaged part....

Can anyone advise if spectators can get anywhere near the planes. My son (3 y.o.) and I want to come up but some of my club members came up Wednesday and said you can't get anywhere near them. My son loves jets as well I but I don't feel like dealing with trying to explain to him why he can't look at them since he gets to look at them all the time at our club.

Thanks

Joe

I notice in some of the pictures that people are using air to start their models (Dutch Team), is this to save weight? How many models are using this?

There is plenty of parking and access is free. You can get within 20 feet of the models on the runway in the spectator area. Hope this helps.

The event is the same location as the dogs show. There is plenty of parking and access is free. You can get within 20 feet of the models on the runway in the spectator area. Hope this helps.

We have a couple volunteers taking the spectators through the pilots tent. We can only take 4-5 people at a time.

Sam thanks for the kind words about me heading up this event.. Roger Shipley, myself, National Museum of the United States Air Force and the Greene County CVB has done a lot of planning in advance, But our volunteers and sponsors are truly the ones that has made this a true event. We have great people running the competition and without them this event would not be anything.

The planes are really at a hole new level of competition. The flying is very good and the flying field is really a perfect combination. All the guys that didn't come has really missed out on a unique event.

Pay it forward
