For some of us the challenge of flying and complex air manoeuvres is getting old - I mean, once you can fly knife-edge and drain three batteries in one session without crashing, what do you do?

 

 

Many people turn to FPV (which is a legitimate sport/hobby all by itself!) and other mods, or larger and faster jets. This guy took a different route. Dedicating hours of tedious, careful crafting work to his model EDF F-16 RC Jet he built a remarkably realistic cockpit display. 

 

 

 

Some manufacturers realease kits for this, especially for the larger turbine models.

 

 

 

Where the creativity comes in though is by adding in a Pan/Tilt enabled FPV camera right into the pilots seat! 

 

 

 

 

The video below shows what this looks like - absolutely amazing realism. Notice how you the pilot looks left then banks into the turn; it's probably as close as you can get to piloting a jet without shelling out hundreds of thousands in training!

 

 

 

The little LCD altitude display is a cracking touch - it all adds up to a brilliant model that would be the envy of everyone on the RC field.
