Well flown and recorded!

Brilliant, and thanks for this excellent video. I have loved The Lightning since the first time I saw one take off in 1962. All we need now is a real Lightening in the air again.

Superb model and scale like flying

This Lightning is absolutely beautiful and flown excellently. Not like the hot rod flyers who have to fly their models all out and jerking around the sky like the real one never did! It was a real treat to see it in the air giving the viewer a real impression of what our hobby is all about. Thanks so much!

Fir a moment in the lead photo.... thought it was a secret project at Thunder City South Africa 😢

This is AWESOME ! As an ex Pilot myself (the real thing but bigger) The RC Pilot is brilliant .......well done Sir !

Magnificent Sir. What a beautiful scale flight....and that landing, perfection. The only thing "missing" is the afterburner on take off and on those vertical climbs! Do they do such a thing....an afterburning RC jet engine? I imagine it would be too complex and bring a lot of issues with it if so. Can't imagine what its like to fly something like your Lightening, that scale, weight and speed knowing an error could be so costly. Balls of steel! Superb concentration and focus!

A flying legend that will never die

Beautifully flown. That is pure dedication. Just wondering if it's possible or not to fit a small Go-pro video camera on board. With your steady hand at flying, you could get some nice shots. Just a thought.🤔

Excellent

Smooth flier! Was that at WOT? Does it have two turbines? The Landing was very nice.

Beautifully flown sir

Iconic aircraft .. saw them operating out of RAF Tengah in Singapore mid 60’s was at school then and classroom overlooked the airfield and as kids we were shown around the planes in the hangers on day .. they say everyday is a school day .. this certainly was

The lighting was flown in the days when Britain was Great! I'd love to know more about the build , power source, etc please

I used to repair the odd bit of one of these at 30MU, gennies, flight control, the odd clock. The nickname on the line for them was "mildly guided missiles"

That was just fantastic! I remember seeing these at air shows in England and they were just fantastic to watch the raw power! Bravo to all that worked in the building of it! 👏👏👏👏👏👍

*Very nice plane* but it's missing a strobe light and running lights. Thank you for sharing. I'm a life long atheist, as my family is secular and from Sweden. Wishing you all Holiday cheer. Thousands of years ago long before Jesus, way back in the Neolithic, It is the Sun which is rebirthed in the passageway of an ancient tomb, the Grand Passage Tomb in the Boyne Valley, Newgrange Ireland. In 1350 BCE Amenhotep the fourth created a monotheistic god from the solar disk, then known as the Aten. Some of Amenhotep's work can be found in the bible as Psalm 104 also known as "The Great Hymn to the Aten". Christians pay homage to this man after a prayer, "Amen". Today our hearts bring back the Light in a celebration from Scandinavia which lasts over several days during the winter solstice known as "Yule". Predating Christianity and originating thousands of years ago. Known as a Norse festival called "jol" named after the Norse god Odin. The Norse being the ancestors of Vikings with the ancestor of the Vikings dating back over 12000 years ago in Scandinavia. The rebirth of the Sun being the oldest known winter solstice celebration, we celebrate the rebirth and the warmth of the Sunshine (Love, Peace, Happiness, Goodwill to man)… Have a Wonderful Winter's Solstice. Bring me Sunshine.

Absolutely beautiful!

Атмосфрная и драматичная сцена. Модель летит очень реалистично.

Demonstration of the brakes at the end.

Superb

Seen her fly at Tibenham a few years ago.. didnt know she had been grounded for a while ! Glad to see her in the air again and flying as good as ever!

Wow what a beauty sounds awesome 👌 take off and landing was perfect

Takes me back to airshows in the 70s. Seeing a real one go vertical just after takeoff ( noise was beyond explanation) woman and kids where screaming and crying.... It was the absolute beast everyone tells you about 👍

WOW.....WOW.

Anybody know....how long would this model be cabalbe or vertical climb.....I know it will have a max altitude to to go over......but just wondering.

Brilliant flight of an iconic fighter jet. She’s a real beauty. 👍

What a landing😮😂😂👍👍👍

What an outstanding scale demonstration. Pilot and plane are 🔥 🔥

It’s a gorgeous model, Large scale indeed!! Takes a ton of skill and nerve to fly something that big especially in an unforgiving sky. The exposed servos on the stabilizers are a minor detraction but probably greatly simplifies construction?

The clouds add to the atmosphere of a bygone era.

Superb landing,nice flying too...

That was very impressive. Thank you for posting.

Flies like a real Lightning, which I have been lucky enough to see!

fantastic great landing and I loved the fly pasts and rolls

$20k+model (check), Years of flight training (check), $100's of $$ in fuel to learn how to do this (Check), A Lifetime of knowing that the UK has rain and WIND (Check), - BUT - 29 cent wind baffle for the camera so we don't have to endure noise in the headset (Fail). Devil's in the details.

Superb landing, outstanding!

1000 likes from me. Amazing aircraft, perfectly flown.

Well done, indeed!

Wow. That was beautiful, and could only be bettered by.........a REAL lightning. Mr Petter is surely smiling down on you.

Unique aircraft ! Loved the skilled "scale" flying. Perfect landing. Great work !

Superb aircraft and superb handling 👍

That is so going to crash. Wow compliments to the Pilot.

Beautiful model and beautifully flown. It’s rare to see a scale jet flown so well and in such a scale manner which is even more impressive with a type of aircraft that is known to be hard to handle. Great flying sir.

Beautifly flown . A joy to watch.

Wow! Cool aircraft and expertly flown. Smooth and deliberate control. Very scale looking.

Many minutes of a moving dot

I've loved the Lightning since I was a kid in the 70's. Lovely to see this model flying, and being flown, so beautifully.

Frangas non Flectas….. 😎👍
