I spent a great morning recently with Master Modeler and Horizon Team Pilot Brent Hecht, and among the many neat model planes I watched him fly was this amazing Bell Aircraft Corp. P-59 Airacomet! Although Brent didn't build this particular plane, he acquired it in near new condition from a scale builder in Arizona, who never flew the model, but DID enter it in Static Scale at an AMA convention several years ago where it won first place!

This very unique model plane is a Grumania Jets model, and is powered by a single Swiwin SW80. (https://www.grumania.com/xtcommerce/J...)

Be sure to watch all the way through as Brent goes over all the features and details after the flight. I sincerely hope you enjoy this glimpse into RC model aviation excellence and the history of the full scale jet...America;'s first jet!
