Radio Controlled Electric Air Show

[OldClicker]

Went to a local RC electric air show.

They love their planes. Most were 'launched' rather than take off in the grass.




One game was a bombing run where they put an egg in a cup (one had a real bottom drop mechanism) and flip upside down to try to hit the inside of a circle.




This is the best I did at capturing a 'bomb'. They call this type of plane a UFO.




Here, the object was to cut the center ribbon without cutting the other two. They weren't very successful.




A very clever idea that really looked like a tight formation from any distance.

This one flew by only flapping its wings. The only other control was the tail as a rudder.

nice series,
they sure have fun !
and the last one looks like a butterfly!

Great fun shots!
Regarding the bird plane, does the trottle control wing speed which controls altitude? Coolest plane ever!

Great series and they must be passionate about their hobby.
If I had one of those and was in one of those bombing competitions, I might have to accidenally go off course...maybe over the crowd or the judges stand or something

I'm not sure. I didn't look like the tail went up/down, but I don't know how 'flap speed' would make it go higher rather than just faster. - Terry
