Have a look at an FPV flight

One of our Wellington members has sent in some of he FPV flying. This a method of flying via Video link. Not the video is via a HD camera and very different to what you would see on the ground. If you look carefully you will see the camera on the bottom left on the video. This is the one being used to transmit to the ground station.

If you would like to see what this looks like from the ground station this is the corresponding video.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a heli? no it is a AutoGyro...

Whats not a plane or Heli yet it flys like a plane and looks like a heli well sort of. Another interesting video sent in by one of our memembers.

Vintage model RC1 (1939) in flight

You may not get much in the way of vintage stuff so the following you tube attachment is of my large (2.8metre wing span) vintage model.  This Reg Truman design has some history as the wing is the original built by Reg back in 1939.  I have refurbished it though to take out warps and repair some minor damage and drew up a plan and built a new fuselage and tail unit.  As you can see it is a lovely floater and is a delight to fly.
