Perhaps some of you noticed in the photo-coverage of the recent Expo in Shanghai, China that RC Lander had a Victory Jet hanging in their booth?

Tim, now the sole owner of RC Lander, was kind enough to email me some photos of one of the next projects that he is working on bringing to market. There will be both a 120mm single EDF version of the Victory Jet and a twin version of the Victory Jet, with two of the new RCLander DPS 90mm 6S EDFs powering it. Three different versions are planned: EPO, PC and Composite. Wingspan is 63" (1.6m)

Stay tuned for more details and media as I get them. I should have a video posted of the model in the photos within a day or so!

RCLander and the Victory Jet! I am looking forward to flying this one after seeing a turbine powered one fly at the 2010 CA Jets and Best in the West events.

Jpower has come up with their rendition of the Alpha Jet. AFAIK, it is the first 70mm sized EDF kit produced by JPower. One of the two livery choices available from JPower is this one, which is a special scheme to commemorate the Alpha Jets seeing their 1,000,000th hour of service in the French Air Force.

Andy Chen, noted designer of many of the models that we enjoy in this hobby, will soon be releasing a 90mm F-18E/F EDF. He kindly forwarded me some sneak peak photos of this model. I have his 70mm F-18 in this same Diamondback scheme and it flies like a dream. I am hoping to do a full Ezonemag.com review of this model after it is released.

More details can be found on his web site A-RCmodel and in THIS thread discussing the model.
