Some of us made it to the field early on Tuesday to meet Hafu and his Youtube team.
We were asked by John's Hobbies if we could answer their questions on RC model airplanes.
They were there to interview members about their models, take videos and follow planes with a quadcopter.
They also had a stationary quad filming from the northwest corner of the pilot stations.
I will publish the video link when it hits Youtube.
The people who had their planes filmed were
- Peter with his Hellcat and biplane
- Michael with his new 3D printed Learjet
- George with his jets
- Simon with his Nooner. He challenged me. Fun racing.
- My Flamingo 9' span power glider.
