- #rcplane While the earth baked under multiple heat-domes and temperatures soared to new world-record highs, we flew our RC model planes and drones. How reckless were we!

It's the middle of summer here in Scotland and it's only 10°C
I would feel very cheated!
@@xjet The last couple of years the summer has been good but this year so far it's been cold, damp and cloudy and summer is so short up here we are running out of time before it snows 🤣👍
This is the life I see for me later on in life....enjoying a wonderful hobby with mates and humerous banter...better than golf.
If only regulators stay out of the hobby. But I agree, better than golf.
I have a bad back, so golf wasn't an option. But it may have been cheaper, lol!

@@rusack7174"Country clubs and cemeteries are the biggest waste of prime real estate." Rodney Dangerfield Caddy Shack! Now, if they would let me make a golf ball potato gun and shoot the ball from hole to hole, I may need to reconsider! 😅😅😅
RC anything is like a family experience no matter where you live. Love your footage Bruce keep it ALIVE no matter what Greg said about the hobby
Absolutely brilliant video from start to finish. I enjoyed every minute.
Nice one! The air ballet was exquisite 😊
Great to see Ron in good spirits 😊
Here in the UK in the middle of 'summer' we have had 3 days of rain over the weekend almost without a break and I had to put the heating on in the evenings! This morning though, the sun has decided to show its face but it is still pretty overcast so it'll probably be raining again by mid afternoon!
Cambridgeshire is full on rain again, best get me snorkel and flippers out 🤣
Man after the rain then the sun, your taste of the tropics without going anywhere. Feel for ya😁
ill go one better.. In ireland we had a heatwave in june which lasted about 10 days.. Since then, it has rained every day.. Some days non stop.. Ive never seen anything like it in my lifetime.. Miserable.. But Im well aware that the heat is deadley in quite a lot of places in Europe so ill bite my tongue..
The heat wave is caused by Ron wearing shorts
A true Kugelblitz event!
Hmmm, I thought that was what caused the fog...😅
Nice one Bruce , great turnout and even an appearance from Ron . Fun and flying are together once again :-)
Nice to see Ron is a good mood...
8:53.. Bill has put a little spice in his life... He's flying a Spektrum Radio..
enjoyed that.... wow that pusher prop jet thing is wickedly fast!
It's summer in the northern hemisphere and they can't understand why it's hot up there. Wet and windy describes a lot of us old men.
What joy.
2:20 So beautiful. Nice shot.
Awww, man! I wanted to see the dago red! In any case, wildly entertaining as usual.
Good seeing Ron again. Howdy mate.
Great to see you all back guy’s
How nice to see older and younger fly together and having fun, always in for a good laugh with a nice twist, ‘give him a hand for a happy ending’, that stuff. Nice sound editing, that jet with the push prop seems like quite a speed machine. Greetings from Belgium ✌️
You guys are rugged. Fearless. Great to see Ron.
Made my day. Always Fun hanging with you guys.
Bruce that was such a good vid, to see you all having a laugh - them cloud drops at the beginning gave me goose bumps they were kool, so good to see Ron back (and as sharp as a Swiss Army knife), and Bill got some rippin, 😂 and Bruce the bedroom comment has me laughing, - it’s too small, I can’t see it, there’s not much to it etc 😂 classic vid.
Amazing video, Bruce! Thanks!!! 😃
Looks like a heck of fun!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
You are a great videographer, lovely stuff.
Back at my home in Las Vegas, the temperature is 44 C and in Houston at my other home, it's 37 C. I made the mistake of putting my spanner on a piece of angle iron. I went to pick it up and burned the hell out of my hand. It's the little things that count you know.
Great range of planes and a good days flying all round. Good to see Ron on the stick 😁😁😁. Many thanks to all for the days festivities, from my chair all the very best and thank you Mr Camera Man...😶🌫😶🌫😶🌫
last 2 weeks - rain and wind every day in Yorkshire (could do with even a little bit of that heatwave)
Is Rons story available on his only fans?!
Excellent video!
Here in the UK, we're still waiting for Summer to start....FFS......🤔😳😳 and it won't stop blowing....🤔😳🙄🙄🇬🇧
@xjet Bravo Bruce! Hello from the sweltering Carolinas. A beautiful day at the Aireal Opera! Nicely choreographed. I hope there was a bucket of water handy.🥶👍🛩
Nice safe day flying at the airfield……thanks for sharing.
Nice to see Ron back out at the field🙂👍
Marvelous !!! Great to see the infoemis Ron and you lads playing nice !!! Great film and edit XJet 😉😎
You have made all crew known around the world and they show how much they appreciate it.😎😆😆😉👍 lots of fun.
Great video Bruce, when I look at some of these flights, it makes me feel better about my flying 😂. Loved the view above the clouds. 🫡
Great video guys! Thanks Bruce!
So glad to have Ron back!😂
Amazing Video 📹 Shooters
Excellent music, Bruce! Greetings from Vienna!
Loved it thanks Bruce!
Annoying. You get lovely flying weather, whilst here in the U.K. I’ve not seen that bright ball in the sky for days ( well only intermittently ) Nah but yeah but,,, great video Bruce 👍👍
Beavers are so fun to fly. They have a ton of character. I put many hours on my FMS beaver. Such a wake up call when you first try a snap roll, and it rolls another half turn beyond what you intended, which I was told by an actual beaver pilot is a trait of the actual plane too.
AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!
Great fun flying FPV early in the morning to catch the fog clouds.
Great vid!
awesome fun times!
cheers to Bruce and the gang :)
As always....Great fun, Thank you indeed!🤣😄
😂falling with style!😅😊
Love the new xjet logo...
3:35 LOL Ron 😆
Hot summer? Well, guess what. It may be one of the coolest for the rest of your life.
Jog on.
27°C by 10 am in Michigan, USA. Air quality is bad with wildfires from Canada. Bad for my wife's asthma.
Hey Bruce you all must be sweltering over there at 6 degrees Celsius
Looks like Arnold Rimmer in OO-TIT.
Smoke him a kipper, he'll be back for breakfast.
Great intro! cinematic 🙂
Old flyer Jim N in Whanganui says hi !
He asked me if I knew Bruce Simpson I said not THE Bruce Simpson and away he went...he kindly offered his treasures....I turned down the built up 3m glider.
Just got a little foamy pusher
Only 38C today. No problem.
Great stuff
Just for info OO-TIT isn’t a Tipsy Nipper, it’s a Tipsy Junior.
yes it is a Tipsy Junior my bad and its fist flight as a eclectic model it flue really nicely with no drama , Bruce must have thought it was a bit boring so didn't put up any of the flight footage
@@billlynch1631 that’s a shame, it looks a lovely model. Would’ve been nice to see it flying.
OMG! Y'all!The scientists said just two days ago that this hot weather might last until the end of summer. What are we going to do?!
I'm personally finishing a tricopter project I have had on the shelf for a while.
106 F(41 C)in Fresno CA. today fellas. I had just went for a few runs up the street. To warm to be out.
A scorcher, but not a record.
If this is a heat wave why am I in bed freezing my ass off….🥶
I've had trouble with 5.8 fpv gear with fog and at short range
The florida heat killed my Rotor Riot TANQ. I cant wait for the Grand Solar Minimum there Bruce!
Hey Bill remember screws turn the other way in Australia
I meant New Zealand and specifically tokoroa
I know it's not part of Australia but it just off the coast of Australia 🌏
Okay thanks for the info sorry farther away than I thought
Thanks
Great vid
Wind and rain in uk all summer Europe keeping all the good weather.
Europe is running hot so you can keep your cool over there. ;-)
Partly sunny.
Above the clouds.😅😂
Don't kid yourself we have had a wet and cold July looks like August is going to be the same here in the Uk. Talk about distorted weather programs.
If I put a fomie in the driveway, and the hot glue repairs melt in 10 mins, its to hot to fly. Lol Dang hot glue.........
If there’s no damn snow it is not winter!😮
I'm not sure what these people are talking about with this hot weather crap. It's completely average where I'm at, and definitely not as hot as I've seen it on several other occasions.
Can everyone stop boasting about the sun 😢 middle england is in the middle of winter again 😂 tv telling me one thing and my windows telling me something completely different 🥶🥶
I'm considerng re-building my Icon a5 that is retired in the loft!
No rules, no bullies,no arguments and no CAA. HAPPY 😁👍
Yes... but you know that this can't be allowed to continue... don't you? :-/
A Concorde!
The difference between fog and cloud is weather persons can usually pronounce the later.
Bill hates the camera at times.
How cool is this!? I wish the faa would leave us alone so we could do stuff like this.
Yeah... and it even happened at an AIRPORT yet still nobody died :-)
only one thing to say about this so called World Wide Heat Wave. Follow the MONEY. IT IS ALLABOUT THE MONEY, BRO.
What is the difference between a FAA law maker like a knife? At least a knife has a point!
Just wet n windy here in UK
Tipsy Junior I think, Tipsy Nipper has three legs 😁😁
That's the Manx model 🙂
yes you are correct , I realized later that i got it wrong and wounded if any body would pull me up on it so congrats 👍👍
God I hope that not one of the og spektrum dx8s with a plug on the pot and one on the mother board cause you will be for ever trimming the sticks. The way I fixed mine was to eliminate the tiny plugs on the pots and solder the wires directly to the pot circuit board.
el nino is a bad boy
It is a shame the younger dudes don’ t come out and they might learn so very much.
The pick on you because they would love to see you ask questions and pay attention to their teachings. Too bad.
get all the flying fun in now while you can because it won't be long before flying fun will be a flying felony........
We're making hay while/when the sun shines... and I have a plan for when the bans come :-)
It's winter I thought
Drag on into next week?
That Ron. The man is an institution.
before 70 years ago it was hot and there was o such thing as air-conditioning per say.. Swamp coolers n the south west. In the early fifties in at 217 E. Present street Oconomowoc Wi. I can remember lying in bed 4 of us in the bed room and me next to the only window still 100F at midnight or what ever time it was because remember my sheets were all wet with sweet. Funny I can remember that but have trouble what I went to the Bathroom for. OH Ya now I know why. to get a snack now who moved the fridg.
I’m gonna miss ron, he’s starting to look pretty rough, I hope he’s got more time left than he looks like he has
He's slowly improving. I'm pretty sure he actually was dead for a few weeks but he's much better now.
Isn’t it supposed to snowing down there?
Just how many planes does Bill actually have???????????????????????????
Nobody knows... not even Bill
6 degrees!!! 6 DEGREES!!!....
SIX DEGREES💥🔥⚠️⚠️⚠️😲😳
That's about 4 degrees warmer than it is here in the UK 🇬🇧 😊
Global warming my arse....😲⚠️😁
When it's abnormally cold the nomenclature changes from "global warming" to "climate disruption".
Looks like you got some lessons on videography from the video school of Barry, Bruce 😂😂😂
Jokes fit only for the ears of old men....
🥰 2001
I love how globlests forgot its the same temperature every year at that time, your cities get bigger yet thay blame Co2 levels nothing pans out, when volcanism CO levels are billions times bigger, i say suffer northern equator dewellers.
Great to see old men playing with planes again rather than a grumpy old git shouting at the moon l😅 Only kidding mate you keep shouting
It's called EL Nino. But folk like to call it climate change
Because once in a century, became once in a decade, became every five years, became every few years.
You could say the climate is changing?
@@TheWebstaff el Nino is about every 12 years. This year is almost exactly the same as 2012 here in Spain, but folk, mostly Boomers and Millenials, like to blame humans for climate change. Itay be hot, but its not any different than previous years. Most fires here in Spain have been caused by arsonists. The same IN Greece and Cyprus. Alll man made fires. Seems folk need more boosters....
