Thanks guys.

I've just spent the last 5 hours flying rc planes at the Hamilton model Club's Collins road strip. An awesome day to be flying

A few shots from today

The first two (aerial) shots are still grabs from my on-board video cameras - on board my 42" electric T28 Trojan (seen in the last photo after I got too slow, too low chasing that damn Cub!!!)
I'll post the youtube link when I'm finished . Lots of fun.

















Have a great week all

Yup. The quality is pretty good for a 17 gram $40 camera. It uses a micro-SD card, 4G in my case. 45 minutes on the lipo battery which recharges using the USB on the pc.

An example is here over the Hamilton strip a few weeks ago...

Damage for the day... the Pitts was lost. I don't know why but it was a mess.
It happens occasionally but not as often as non-modelers think it does
The Fury landed well but hit a small hole when it had almost stopped. Most scale models with small wheels and retracts are made for the standard USA 300 yard paved field... much like American homebuilt planes!!!
