Since this will be the only way anyone will see a He-162 fly:
Interesting how the builder got around the laws banning the swastika in Germany.
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
RC jet modeling is remarkably sophisticated these days...there are engines with 40+ pounds of thrust now. Early ones had turbine wheels adapted from automotive superchargers; don't know what they're doing now.
ReplyDeleteNot easy to stay within visual control range at those speeds.
I think the phantom circle in the middle distorted the swastika enough to get legal.
ReplyDeleteGerman Neo-Nazis solved the swastika problem by ising the Confedrate battle flag, instead.

ReplyDeleteFucking figures.
From what I read these plywood throw-away planes had ultra-sensitive controls and were hard as hell to fly, especially for the low-hour Hitler Youth students who were supposed to pilot it. Most losses were due to flameouts and glue delaminations but at least one HE 162 was shot down by a Hawker Typhoon on final approach-the standard allied anti-jet procedure. Eric Brown quite liked it. It was the fastest of the WWII jets.
