Needless to say, I haven’t posted anything to FCL in almost 3 months. Not entirely sure why. The pup (Deuce) keeps me busy, holiday season, nasty weather events, blah … blah … blah.
I stumbled into this video during my morning media scan, and found myself smiling from ear to ear by the end. I love seeing people turn their passion (no matter WHAT it is) into fun activities with like-minded friends and coworkers.
This is a pretty cool story. High school kid designs an A-10 RC model with an 8-foot wing span. Then, these guys build the damn thing in 10 hours and conclude with a successful first flight.
I was particularly impressed with the chase pilot’s airwork with the drone, basically flying circles around the A-10 in three dimensions. That’s not inherently easy to do.
Enjoy.
P.S. And Happy New Year!
