Here is my Radio Controlled electric fleet that I can fly in the yard.

Left - "ELE" RC P-51D Mustang. Powered by a 7mm brushed Didel SS orange Racing motor geared way down. EPP foam construction. Uses a 3 channel Vapor receiver with built in servos/ESC. The airframe was sent to me for review, building, and evaluation. Flies good, relies more on it's airfoil for lift rather than just the prop. No aerobatic capability, other than inverted flight.

Middle - 19" EPP Yack Shock Flyer. Powered by an 8.5mm brushed motor geared down. Uses a 6ch AR6400 microlite RX with two built in servos. Two additional 1.2g servos for ailerons. Flies very good, all around good entry into 3D aerobatics. Locked-in hover, torque roll, and Knife-edge.

Right - Parkzone Night Vapor. Powered by a standard 7mm brushed motor geared down. Mylar and carbon fiber construction. It is equipped with six micro size LED lights, which makes night flying fun and easy. Very slow flight, down to walking speed. Can do loops, couple seconds of hovering, and brief inverted flight.

I am not entirely sure what constitutes as "4D", but it will do every aerobatic maneuver under the sun. Does not have a variable pitch prop, though.

4D would involve time travel, would it not?

4d essentially means you can travel in 'reverse' and do a nose in prop hang all very confusing.
So yeah needs a VPP or reverse motor and some blah blah.

He's a great bloke but I guess that's happens when you're doing an aircraft engineering degree and you've got too
much time on your hands

Very Happy
