Flight test service
I am pleased to announce a new service
I am a 4th year student for Electrical Engineering at the Holon Institute of Technology, and known as a top international Israeli RC pilot.
I know nearly every aspect of RC flying including Helicopters, Turbine jets, Giant scale, Electrics and so on, and have established myself a reputation as being one of the best test pilots in the world, along being an expirienced flight instructor for over 10 years, teaching hundreds of students the field of RC flying, setup and building of Helicopters, Jets, Giants, Electrics and so on.
I also posses some UAV flying expirience for companies developing new UAVs in Israel.
I am one of the only pilots in the world to have vast expirience with every kind of possible RC aircraft - an expirience which shines at the points where fast thinking and quick responses are a must - at test flights of new or expirimental aircraft.
This reputation is based upon performing thousands of test flights, of some very challanging and demanding aircraft, and being successful in safely landing several aircraft under extremely challanging conditions. These situations involve for example new jets with dead sticks (engine cuts) shortly after takeoff, jets loosing flight surfaces in flight, giants loosing flight surfaces or parts of the wing in flight and so on - All these aircraft were brought back to a safe landing by proffesionalism and fast response, combined with a lot of expirience.
remember :
Anyone can perform a test flight when everything is going right. the question is who can perform a test flight successfully when something is going WRONG ! thats a true test pilot.
If you have a new or special RC aircraft of any sort and need a test pilot - choose the most expirienced, most renowned pilot with the reputation to prove it - choose Lior "I3DM" Zahavi !
** Service is offered worldwide **

Here are just a few small examples from real life caught on video when i was doing tests for students or friends:
Emergency landings:
F-86 Sabre maiden flight - dead stick due to ESC failure
F-86 Sabre second flight - dead stick due to motor failure
Aaron's Rafale jet - landed safely after severe wing flutter
F-16 jet - landed safely dead stick after radio lockout
HET F-15 - taken off, flown and landed safely with one motor REVERSED
Amir's Katana 46P - landed safely on the runway and on the wheels with more than half of the left wing missing after a mid-air collision
Zviks's Gripen jet - landed safely with gear up on the tarmac with minimum damage
Shaul's Gripen Jet Maiden flight - dead stick due to turbine failure
Amir's F-16 Jet - dead stick due to turbine fuel starvation - notice the jump over the bush that was interfering in the final for landing !
Maiden flights:
Test flight - Gadi's flying thingz "Flag"
Test flight - Nessy's Fei-Bao F-4 Phantom
Test flight - scale F-16 and F-4
Test flight - Haim's 200% Funjet scratch built
