1/6 Radio Controlle ME 163 Comet

Everyone gave me that It will never fly look when I turned up with this! Oh were they wrong - Its a amazing flyer I tried it first as a PSS Slope Glider I have to admit id set it up quite heavy. So we’ve got a 30 mph Wind with loads of lift, Quick check of the controls and off we go - Wow She just floated out so very very gently. Slow speed needed a touch of reflex up elevator however wen she got moving boy dod this little rocket shift. I don’t remember seen so many hardened slope flyers stood with mouths open - She looked superb and flew hands of - Stall was almost non existent just a drop of the nose and wear bak flying. Landing was a pig she simply wouldn’t come down and floated past the landing point three of for times until I got it right!!! Next I stuck in a 600 Size brush less 10x 6 Folding Prop with a 11v Lipo Pack and From a good flat field Hand launch she was away - Again she flew beautifully only input was a little rudder to counter the props torque - I spent most of the flight on 1/2 Throttle and still needed a couple of runs at a landing

Finally a thunder tiger pro 61 and jeez it really moved Low speed passes were almost impossible she picked up so much speed in a dive- She goes vertically till you hit the moon!!!!

I made up a take of dolley which turned out to be useless as she bounced of it most of the time so I think this is really a hand launch only

Defiantly one of the most awesome WW2 Scale models ive ever flown

Dr. Alexander Lippisch constucted the first rocket-propelled airplane of the world in the years 1941/42. This model produced by us in   1:6 , we have got a semi scale model of this type too. The development of ME 163 B1a in scale 1:6 is a reconstruction with all details and flight properties of the original. The scale degree is up to you.
