After the club meeting they had a radio control airplane combat demonstration. The modeler showed how he built them and supplied planes for them.
He had three other modelers put on a combat match with him. If you blow the picture up then look close you can see four planes and a drone in this picture. One plane ended up cutting all the streamers but the streamers were wrapped around his plane causing it to crash.
One of the other member's eighty six year old dad was there flying and the guys were giving him some help.
I ended up being the first number pulled out in the drawing so I chose this E-flite Radian XL. It has a 102 inch wingspan and all I need to add is a receiver. It was a lot cooler today so I only put in two flights and spent some time in the club house where they had a nice fire going in the wood stove. We headed out about two and except for a little wind had an uneventful ride home.
