Wow, that was a pretty cool video. There have been the ocasional times where I have to share the field with someone flying an RC heli or plane, but
they never get that close. He was fairly close to that F-One Tribal, that orange Best, and the black and pink ?North Vegas?, but it wasn't close
enough for any discomfort. Very cool video though.

I know they are just servos but the retracting secondary landing struts (@ 00:32) are just soooooo cool.
Someone put a lot of thought and love into that rig.

just think of the potential. hadlow has to hire a full size copter and pro cameras at a cost of thousands. a very skillful pilot could get even
closer. just think of the angles!!! the only draw back is they are at the oppersite ends of the wind scale.
