Airplane Photo Series (2)

Scaled down this time. This is a series of electric R/C aircraft images, some taken at the local R/C airfield and the rest at the Zen of Neato's aerodrome (yeah, he is all tough with motorcycles but he's a nerd just like me).

A sunset shot of all our backyard flyers. 3 Tiger Moths in the back, a Bearcat, a Gee Bee, and a P-47 "Jug".

My electric R/C Tiger Moth, painted in the scheme of G-ADNV (the letters were added after this photo was taken)

Showing some damage after exceeding Vne. Different from a real airplane, this was fixed with 5 minute epoxy and was flying within one minute of the epoxy kicking.

These are wonderful toys... rudder, elevator, and throttle with the right Li-Po battery you could stay airborne for 30 minutes. I am sure the tech has improved since the time we were dabbling with the hobby (brushless motors, Li-Po batteries and their chargers can drain a wallet right quick).

The serious folks:
Saved my favorite for last. This was the winner.

I have a P-51 park flyer awaiting assembly in the basement, just need some servos and some spare time (a winter project?). G-ADNV is parked on the work bench, with a broken prop.
