  • 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.

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

      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

    • @MCsCreations

      Some landings have the approval from Anakin Skywalker. LOL

    • @walterthompson8697

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

      @batsonelectronics 3 года назад +6

      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.

    The “spot landing” video reminded me of those nature films you sometimes see where they show bees in slow motion closeup as they come in for a landing at the hive - excellent editing there, really made me laugh.

    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.

    You need to get some helium balloons and cray paper. Competitive mid air ribbon cutting. Or just have one plane drop the ribbons and the other planes cut the ribbons. Cray paper is biodegradable so it won't harm the environment should the debris fall where you cant get to it afterwards.
