  • No, this is not Ukraine, this is the flight of a huge home-built RC plane at the Tokoroa Airfield on a brilliant winter's day in June. Bill was at hand to help Chris get this model (the Twin Hopper) into the air and to act as spotter.
    To see more of how this model was designed, built and tested check out Chris's UA-cam channel:

    I have been watching the whole biuld series of this plane over on chris's channel, but this is the first time of me getting a real impression of the Dimensions of it. This shows how important good camerawork really is. You have done a marvelous job, capturing this Bird in all of its beauty. Well done Sir!

      Stunning building by the young "flightless" Chris, but it would have looked even better if flying over his home block rather than the Tokaroa dump etc. 😊

      I was thinking, stretched plastic sheet, might help smooth the airflow over the wing and take out the fibreglass 'roughness' as well. Maybe add some decals of an Albatross or Eagle or Condor on the underside of the wing. 🦅
