Join the guys for another mid-summer's day of RC plane flying at the Tokoroa Airfield here in New Zealand. Spare a moment to mourn the loss of poor Simon's new Tundra -- but Bill will fix it (almost) good as new!
Forget about the Northern winter and the lockdowns, share sometime with us as we have lots of good, safe fun withour models. There's a bit of extra summer footage at the end to keep you warm.

I came for the RC planes but stayed for the genius comedic wit. Thank you!

One thing I love most about this hobby is that landing is always guaranteed!

@landlifem5872 3 жыл бұрын

I dunno, my first ever rc plane that had no surface controls, just with differential thrust and power to climb, it once got caught in a thermal, it went so high I could no longer see it, never to be seen again.

Landing is actually mandatory

Some landings have the approval from Anakin Skywalker. LOL

@walterthompson8697 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, a landing is always guaranteed. However, the condition of the model after the landing is not guaranteed.

@batsonelectronics 3 жыл бұрын

not true. There is still an .049 plane I crashed in a giant tree back in 2001 still in that tree in 2020. It was over 100 feet up. I don't know how long foam lasts but it likely won't land at least that long. Other than that, you are completely correct.

I would never have been able to turn that mid-air into a super-slow-mo "close-up" shot without 4K footage and a day's worth of GPU-based image processing :-) Stabilized flight footage also looks nice from time to time.

The difference between men and boys Is the size of their toys. ...and the fact that the Mrs. doesn't weep openly when the boy breaks his toys. Crashing a $3,000 RC aeroplane, then telling her that he's going to buy another which costs 10 times that is sure to put tears in her eyes.
