Well... good job done by the pilot!

Mmm.

Sadly reading the comments in that article have left me even more mystified. Seems to have forgotten his supervisory duties from the left hand seat.

Apparently they were scouting round for a new co-pilot (or as it seems from reading this, an actual co-pilot used to operating aircraft on the ground at relatively high speed, as they don't seem to have bothered before) a month or two back.

Blimey, and chap on a horse, with a stetson and two revolvers has just walked past...

So that makes 2 victor flights in a relatively short time.......Victor to the sky anyone?

Same event. It just take 4 months to get to the mainstream press.

Ah! thought it was weird

   
Kudos to the PIC; that was well-done (and the right decision!).

Nothing about that was well done. And as far as i'm concerned they've fed a load of horse poop to cover their own backs.

I find it very hard to believe that the CAA have no interest in this.

I would have to agree with that. The CAA is not usually so sympathetic & if they are not responsible who is? For example; the current situation with the RNHF & TFC. I'm also surprised the Health & Safety people haven't got involved in this.

[font=Comic Sans MS]Maybe we will see a new category of CAA approval.
One Victor aircraft cir 1960 -sh approved for runway dashes and bunny hops. Bunny hops only to be performed away from crown direction or parallel to the crowd line and no more than on bunny hop per runway dash

Maybe in the interest of "old time aviation" we should not ask too many questions. 

I would have to agree with that. Unfortunately it might be too late now the gutter press is involved.

As for RC weight limits, if memory serves, it is 20 to 25 Kg/Lbs (can't remember which though).

I believe it's 20 Kg. I've never flown a model anywhere near that size. http://www.largemodelassociation.com/over20kgInspectors.htm
