Large r/c HP Victor - excellent video

Post by TobyV »

Very nice model, very well flown and well filmed (not the usual r/c video where you see something recognisable on the ground and then the camera chases a blow fly in the sky for 2 minutes!)

superb video of a superb model, that plane if it were released today doesnt look out of place with the angular tail and wing layout, it looks like a stealth bomber!!

That is where the BMFA flies. The Large Model Association's field is at Longhorsley.

I absolutely loved that. :)

And to think, some bloke has probably been served with divorce papers, just so that thing can get in the air.

So a big thank you to him. :lol:

My other thought was; how in the hell do you put that in the boot of your Ford Fiesta? :dunno: *-)
