    What awesome fun you were having ;-) That Eagle didn't seem to care for the Phoenix V2 much but I really like it. See you in the Air!

    Nice one! Whereabouts is Mt Terrible? - I could see one in the high country but I'm guessing it's not that one...

    Mr. Newton. Please look up swallowtail kite. They are my local split-tail raptors. I can hear their babies this time of year from nest 25m / 75ft treetops calling for food to be brought back for them.

    It’s a bit of fun until they catch the plane, my battery and canopy is still on Mt Hollow Back. Luckily got the weasel back.

    I fly with those birds on the eastern edge of the Adelaide hills here and they will tear the crap out of your plane if they can get hold of it. They are very aggressive and skilled flyers that will out turn and out manoeuvre you every time if determined. I’ve found the only way to get away is to out climb them.

    Got a Wedgie that turns up fairly regularly at our Sunday sessions. On a rare occasion as many as 3 - must be a family group in the breeding season. Never seems to bother our foamy gliders, just seems curious as to where the thermals are. Of course we are in a valley so are not up in his territory as you are there! ;-) Might put the FPV Flying Fish up to look at him. Fast enough to get well away from him if he gets stroppy.
    The 1 that regularly takes umbrage is a little butcherbird. Has been a help on a couple of occasions when stuff went bush. Just follow Butchie to find it. :-)

    Love that site! I'VE had times with hawks but Buzzards seem more friendly. Gulls can be aggressive but Pelicans not bad at all as long as you dont interfere with the group in formation

  • @davidunderwood1907
    @davidunderwood1907 2 года назад +1

    Never seen that spot. Ty. The swallow tail kite was so cool. We have similar birds here. They do not care about rc planes in their airspace. I have seen red tail hawks attack regularly but never a slit tail bird. What king of bird was it?

  • @patricehonvault2612
    @patricehonvault2612 2 года назад +1

    I’ve already had this kind of problem with seagulls on the seaside. They are even more aggressive and especially they don’t give up easily!

    Brilliant. Trying to give the Wedge-tail Eagle some acrobatic lessons.
    Great control reaction and landing demonstrations. Small bit of difference in timing could make for very different outcomes.
    Hopefully you two made it back to the car, before the downpour hit.

    Great fun! Hope the rock was ok.
    I may have mentioned a while back that I was flying a glider in front of an oncoming large rain cloud, which turned out to be a hail storm!. But just like in this video I could see every detail of the approaching deluge. It was the best lift I've ever had while flying! Incredible, and I suddenly realised just how small my 2.5mtr glider had become! I literally had to forcefully fly it downwards to get it back. Or at least that's how it seemed in my mind. I don't know exactly how far away or how high it was, but I'm sure it was several miles! 😉
