Very nice - how much???

Every now and then someone puts something on YouTube that makes it all worth while.

I'm nervous just watching it. :scared:

[Clarry]

Wow, that looks great.

You'd catch some nice thermals with that I imagine :)

Heck the wingspan is 7m - my paraglider isn't that much bigger !

Lovely model, but its a bit too fast for enjoyable flying - it will fly out of sight pretty quickly.

[Nesti]

Yeah, they're not too bad, but at 20kg it's preferred territory is on the slope catching updrafts.

We don't have big hills here, so we need to fly stuff that's a little more thermally but still range well (zoom around).

That's great.
I am presently learning to fly a helicopter indoors. It is a Twister Bell Medevac with counter rotating blades .
Quite a learning curve getting the hang of it.

Used to make model planes when a youngan. Sometimes get an itch to get back into it again, but don't think swmbo would be too impressed given the current situation with astronomy mistress ;)

[multiweb]

Very cool indeed. I'm amazed with the skills of the guys who's fliming though. Just to keep everything in focus and reasonably within frame is quite a challenge on itself.

Adam.
Astronomy ??? Oh,now I remember.

[lacad01]

:lol: Ahh, yep. Not much observing of late but plenty of reading.
