For the past few years thanks to Justin Galbraith, we have spent the start of the ballooning season flying, dogfighting and crashing remote control planes between balloon flights. In reality, there is more crashing than flying from me but it damn good fun. Justin is a master of all things RC from planes to Helicopters, balloons and cars. He almost needs as second vehicle to truck all his gadgets around the country side.
Anyhow, this year I have upgraded to the F27B Stryker. An electric, charge and fly plane that will do 80km/h out of the box and is fully aerobatic. It can be seriously tweaked for much more speed and a quick search of youtube has turned up lots of videos of this very popular little plane converted into a crazy speed beast.
Warning: Most of the videos like the one linked above contain sad audio tracks and salutes to Top Gun.
Fingers crossed for good weather and lots of flying of all sorts and I promise not to hum Danger Zone ever again.....
