MERMAID VIDEO

Okay, so it's obvious we have been slacking on adding in plans and keeping up with the constant demands of Parkjets and the folks that visit often.  Rest assured we have not been doing nothing.  We are working on a few more plans, working hard to boost our social network standing and just trying to keep up with life.

In the meantime, we updated the very popular Mermaid plan with a great short video of the Mermaid on grass. 

This video lives in the plans page, but here it is without all the clicking.

VIDEO: F-18E SUPERHORNET

VideoParkJets

We ran across this video from a customer of our sponsor, 6mmFlyRC and it is stunning.  The video is not that stunning granted, but the model itself is just fantastic.  

The F-18E SuperHornet is a great model for those just starting out building, but as you can see, you can take this design to the extreme with details.  Complete with LED lights, panel lines, clear canopy and pilot, the model here is perhaps the best example of craftsmanship we have ever seen on a simple profile model. 

Sit back and enjoy the show!

HD CAMERA + MIG 29 = VIDEO LOVE

VideoParkJets
This video is an excellent example of the excellent platform that the Tomas Hellberg MIG 29 provides.  We know that one of the trends in RC is strapping on an HD camera on to the fuse and capturing some video.  In this case, the pilot takes excellent video of Cardigan Bay.  Most of the time our video turns out to be rather boring, but the view in this video is worth a look.

SU-47 UPDATED

VideoParkJets
Just a quick notification that we recently updated two of the plans on Parkjets.com. First, the Concorde SST by Nico Hobbies as well as the SU-47 by Nico Hobbies. I guess some were having some issues with the .zip file. That should be fixed now. And while updating the plans, we noticed an excellent video of the SU-47 on YouTube, so we thought we would share.  

ALPHA JET PREVIEW

VideoParkJets

We are getting the next parkjet plan all prepared for upload onto Parkjets, but we wanted to give our visitors a sneak peak of the newest plan on parkjets.com, the Alpha Jet.  Featuring a unique dual wing design, with excellent stability and incredible high alpha abilities, this incredible design is one of the most unique on the entire site.  So watch the video, sit back and check back here in the next few days for the Alpha Jet!

MAY 2012 ROUNDUP

VideoParkJets
May was a busy month for Parkjets. We have been adding to the home page and giving you more and more information about parkjets. As a recap, we posted several new plans to Parkjets, posted some new videos and wrapped up an interview with 6mmFlyRC.com. Want a full run down? Read on....

F-18 PARKJET - VIDEO

VideoParkJets

As we were checking out YouTube, we noticed this recent video of the Steve Shumate F-18 Hornet in action.  The F-18 is one of the oldest parkjet designs and is an excellent parkflyer. 

DRONGO WATER PARKJET

VideoParkJets

A sneak peak of the Drongo Water Parkjet designed by Marcel du Plessis, the same parkjet designer that brought you the excellent BD-5, Draken, and Seadart. So you know this one is excellently designed and will perform flawlessly.  

BARRACUDA EDF VIDEO

VideoParkJets

For those of you that haven't had a chance to get on over to and check out the newest RC plan on Parkjets, here is the video of the EADS Barracuda.  The plan file contains plans for a 68mm (or larger) EDF fan and also a mini version of the EADS Barracuda that is roughly 60% size and fits a 50mm EDF fan. 

MIG 29 VIDEO

VideoParkJets

This is a great video of a scratch build MIG 29.  The video starts at the beginning, from the traceing process, the cutting, the assembly of the components, the installation of the electronic equipment, painting and finally the first flight.  A great example of a hobbyist taking a piece of foam and transforming it into an RC airplane that looks awesome in the air.
