I'm no aviation expert but that doesn't look like an F-18 to me.

So how are the landings on that grass field?

I have only seen rc jets flying off of a 10,000ft runway (and the jet guys still seem to always be farting with the landing gear).

landings aren't a problem at all.. with the Eurosport the longest ground roll i have had was 50 feet. they are typically about 20 feet.

Ok, I have to ask....how much does a jet like that cost? I've been playing around a lot lately with the EDF jets and they are dirt cheap.

Nice!

Sounds like a winner. Eurofighters have great high alpha performance which I am sure helps with the landings.

Have fun and fly it like a foamy!
