Dynamic Soaring, I went 300mph when the record was 308, now it stands at 499mph!
Here's a slow vid. The ones over 400-450 you literally can't see the planes they're going so fast. Crank up the SOUND!!!
Here's a great vid showing DS and DS acro.
I can fly RC helis, but never excelled. |
I used to do the large scale stuff too... built many a pimped out Baja back when they first came out, lots of FGs in the past. Those things are fun. I'm not particularly good at driving them though, just like the full-scale ones
.
i had no idea one could make a glider go 499mph. that's insane.
another little known fact: rev works is next door to BVM jets. it's a block full of awesome.
