Yeah I wear both hats. Gas and electric is going to own this hobby sooner than later. Nitro will be around, but its slowly fading away IMO. Actually almost anything in that 46-50 size seems to be getting built electric (balsa). More and more gas and electric options even for the .60 size balsa planes. Add in the sound systems available for the electric systems the writing is on the wall. Only thing with electric is the batteries need to get smaller with more MAH. As we see that happening, you will see more an more electric. Only thing holding back electric now is reduced flight times. But, to make you happy, here is an oldie but goodie.:)

So true Charlie!! Everytime I arrive at the field and get out of my vehicle...It's at least 15 minutes before i can wipe off that smile on my face!:)And what's icing on the cake, is all the great active members. Not a bad egg to be found. And there is a great smorgasbord of interrests in aircraft owned and flown....gas, nitro, electric....Originally posted by OV10 View PostLon

Maybe I'll just follow him back home after NEFI and camp at his airfield till they force me to have to join that club, that's when you know you've worn out your visitor status. :Silly:Warbird Charlie

That would be great....unfortunate it's such a long distance for both of you, though Gman will drive right by it on the way to NEFI.Lon

Tried shooting more air to air video this weekend with my friend. I think we are finally starting to get the coordination done a bit better. Did 3 flights, with my Durafly Skyraider, Freewing F-86, and FMS P-51, and of course the only landing captured was the worst one
Let me know what you guys think, any feedback is appreciated!

Great vid. Nice one mateComment

SWEET!!! Very good. I can imagine that it's not that easy to get the coordination between the two of you, to capture the shots you did.Lon

Thanks guys! Coordination is definitely difficult. Mostly it consists of flying straight and level, and trusting the quad pilot to get close for the shot. However, getting your warbird that close to 4 spinning blades is the last think your brain wants you to do! Turns have to be communicated well in advance though, or its very easy to fly out of the shot. Hopefully next time we can try shooting some maneuvers. A roll captured from the tail would probably look pretty neat.Comment

Man, that is some AWESOME footage you are getting!!! You do realize however, the P-51 flies much better with the flaps UP!!! All joking aside, that is some of the best air to air footage I have seen. I have a few guys in my little flying circle with some good drones, and we are going to be trying it out next weekend. I had thought about putting the "Follow Me" bracelet in the plane, and see if it will stay with it!!Comment

Nice one Ben.
Cant remember if I posted these here. (Sorry if I have). Couple of old ones I made for the blokes I sometimes fly at a park with. ;)

I much prefer flying at my regular club with the nice big bitumen strips, but park flying can be just as fun. :)
