Title: Craig's new FLASH a real speed demon
Post by FLC astroflyer on Aug 14^th, 2019 at 8:55pm

Craig brought his new FMS flash to the field tonight. An awesome looking and blistering fast airplane. Looks like a dart!

The test flight was a breeze and Chris Q did the launching duties.

These images are 1/25th of a second apart. The speed of this thing was a real test of my camera's "flying birds button" lol It passed! These shots are from the second flight. 4s power in this thing!

Without a doubt the fastest flying object I've ever photographed. The last shot is the landing approach!
