Default Aviation Jets Rafale

Does anyone have any flight videos of the Aviation Jets Rafale?

I would remove these videos, Sorry but not the same jet.. This is Aviation Jets Rafale not Aviation Design.

Just don't want to confuse people..

WOW! The maiden was smooth and had no issues with exception of one gear door not closing, This kit comes with accessories to install servos on the doors, I installed small light weight air cylinders but seems that we need a little more pull power so I will upgrade them.

Ok, on the the good stuff. This jet is amazing and docile especially for its size. The maiden flight took a couple clicks of trim and that was it. Congrats to Barry Hou for a great maiden and exciting second flight. The jet seems to have no bad tendencies and you can really throw it around. Landings are slow and a nice AOA is very easy to achieve.

I have more photos and a GoPro video i will be posting here of the second flight.

If I had more room in may hangar i would own one for sure..

Thanks for the video, looking forward to having one as part of my inventory. How was the handling at full throttle and the vertical performance?

David, It seemed to handle very well. This is not a fast jet as the intakes are wide open and very draggy (No Ducting). The KT210 did a nice job and pushed it pretty well however if your looking for better vertical I would recommend the new KT250

Digital Pilot,

Thanks for the video and the additional information. My hope is that my Mammoth is blowing a good 48lbs of thrust. If so, and the wet weight is below 45lbs, the plane should provide some excitement and fun.

Its definitely a fun jet, You can throw it around and it recovers instantly. Will try and get better video if we fly again this weekend.
