Gloster Javelin
We don't seem to see much on the Classic Raf jets so here's a couple of clips of my first flight with the Javelin last weekend at Raf Scampton JMA meet,

If you go to www.uavde.com you can see the Javelin that Sam Snyder is building for twin p70's.
Sam would probably love to talk to you about your setup.

Thats a lovely model Gary. The finish looks much better than on my one, which is only finished in semi scale colours.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine.

RE: Gloster Javelin
Thanks guys, she has been built and painted very nicely, not by me I might add, I got it third or fourth hand, been sitting around for a while.
JD, built from a Mick Reeves kit, as you say she does sit nicely, tends to nose drop in turns and is quite sluggish on the controls, feels like the real thing I imagine! Also needs a fair bit of power to keep her moving, very draggy airframe and can be prone to stalling which apparently is normally terminal (deep stall)
I wasn't quite sure of the trim situation and as it had not been flown by me before I forced the rotation a bit to gain trimming height, not very scale like I know, my apologies.
She actually tried to roll out to port on t/off flap so that was a good move!
