Title: An afternoon at the field
Post by FLC astroflyer on Jun 10^th, 2020 at 7:21pm

Four of us out enjoying the sunshine today. Geoff, Chris, Craig and myself. Geoff did his usual exemplary mowing job on the whole site.

Chris and Craig were both flying v900 foamies, amazing little speedsters on four cells. Chris demonstrated it's easy hand launching in safe mode. Just give it a toss and it flies off, then turn it to hazard mode and hang on. lol Both are blistering fast!

Chris's v900 makes a fly by. He pulled back to half throttle to give my camera and me a chance.

Craig gets his speedster ready and a couple of flight shots. After the practice with Chris's plane I actually caught Craig's at speed.

Chris flew some FPV with his Micro Skyhunter. Craig helped him to settle into his comfy chair and handled the launch duties.

While I was photographing Chris's v900, I was notified about the presence of another great flyer right above. Someone yelled "eagle". Well, it's definitely not an eagle. What version of hawk is still to be determined.
