That is totally AMAZING! Just about the best model flying vid I've ever seen! Well spotted. 

Presumably the 'chase plane' was also a model and flown by an absoilute MASTER pilot too! It makes you realise quite how much of a bitch the Bv138 was to fly, what with that socking great turret sitting right on the pilots eyeline. They should have kept it like the planned asymmetric prototype, that had a much steeper slope in front of the windscreen.

I kept imagining tracer rounds squiggling their way from the chase-plane to the BV.

Very cool!

I have nothing but respect for the people who build and fly these excellent models. And this has to rate some sort of Excellence Award for the filming and piloting.

What I thought was real nice was the view from the cockpit! Something I've never seen before in RC footage.


Not that I've seen much of it before...

And the camera was rotating in there too! Goodness knows how many radio channels he used to get that to work so well. (Says Kit, who has a 16 channel set for his model boat work......... )

Seriously impressive video. the chase plane was brilliant, but I especially liked the cockpit shots....Oh yeah, amazing model of the BV138....
