The Jet World Masters were held in Northern Ireland in early July 2007. The organisers of this event, a small group of hard working volunteers did their very best but were plagued with adverse weather and an accident involving some of the key staff just before the start of the competition. This resulted in a few organisational problems but nevertheless, the competition was completed well in time, and we can only congratulate the organisers for their efforts. A coverage of this event can be found in issue 86 (Oct/Nov 2007) of RCJI magazine. |

Philip Avonds' competition F-15C is equipped with all the available scale options like opening canopy, functional dorsal airbrake, scale nozzle detail set ... |

Top honours in individual class all went to big scale jets (close to the 20kg limit). I finished in seventh place with a new purposely built F-15C ARF. This model weighs only 12 kg and got the highest ranking of all the "lightweight" models. Several new F-15C ARF models were presented at the 2007 Jet WM, mostly by newcomers in the scale competition scene and all completed their competition successfully. The F-15C ARF is truly an outstanding stepstone for this type of scale competitions. |

We have been attending the JetPower fair with our typical black booth since the first edition back in 2003. For this years' edition, we decorated the booth with our F-104G Starfighter, our F-16A Thunderbirds and our demo F-15C in Aggressors scheme. The F-15C was also displayed in flight and the crowd loved the scale routine alternated with high performance maneuvering. The model is now equipped with a Graupner G-Booster G160 turbine giving truly awesome spectacular vertical performance. |
