HobbyKing / Avios Lockheed C-130 Hercules AEROBATICS
Exploring some mild aerobatics with the C-130 now that have got my head around the slow flight characteristics. Next time out will get extreme and really bank and yank. Liking this model more and more each time I fly it.

Filmed at our local BMFA affiliated model flying club by Caz for the 'Essential RC' YouTube channel using the Panasonic AG-UX180 Pro 4K camcorder. Dom Mitchell infront of camera and on the sticks.

I once flew to Germany from RAF Binbrook in a Hercules for a NATO exercise with a squadron of Lightnings in the 1980's and will never forget how cold wet and uncomfortable it was after loading the drafty, noisy old beast with equipment in the pouring rain before boarding . If the journey included aerobatics on the way I'm sure that would have really topped what was an already pretty rotten day .

Very nicely done. There were a couple of occasions when I thought it wasn't going to quite make it, especially the loop, but both it and your reputation survived. :)

Hi Dom, I enjoy your videos. Very informative and clear. Good quality videos, well filmed. Thanks.
Even though the aerobatics are not scale, you may feel comfortable getting to know your plane.

I can’t wait until I see the Nice Flight of your C-130 RC plane Essential RC.

Seeing it fly with the ramp down reminds me of my time on the HC130P herc...airdrops were the bees knees....

[naserb]

Hi nice video, which receiver you are using ?

[fiacost]

Well, I'm sure the air force is going to hire you as soon as they see this A barrel roll with a C-130..!!?.
I'm kidding, good job Essential RC

[dragonsknights]

I would like to see a cargo dropping or paratroopers than aerobatics ;)

[waynelee]

Very nice Dom, have you taken it up to check the stall characteristics ? Does it nose over or does it drop a wing. ?

[gracklefpv]

This would be great to add to my collection! Because my grandad flew c-130s for the Air Force and Ive always wanted a rc model c-130, where can I buy one? I can’t find a place to get one

Three sets of decals for the military scheme but does not include our RAF. That’s a pity.
