Shot of the year for me

[hotled]

Was shooting r/c today and a guy was chasing a dragon fly with his electric!

That is a good capture. Very funny too.

Check your six!

Cool shot. Looks like an Ultrafly model ?

I have had some close calls with birds out here and my helicopter. I've sent a few home short a few tail feathers. Purely unintentional. It's a bit scarey when a flock of birds flys across your intended path. Fly straight and normal and hope they get out the way :o

Great capture.

This is a cool shot. "Tally Ho chaps - dragonfly at 12 o'clock".

nicely done.
hes running a thunder power lithium polymer probably 3 cell on that plane ..pretty powerful when used with a brushless motor..
ill check out ur gallery to hope and find more RC.

Thanks for the kind comments. I'm pretty new at this and still learning what settings work for any given sport given the lighting etc..

I have found that I don't dare shoot below 1/1600 for r/c though no matter what.

nice landing with the P-51, see it all the time with the warbirds at the field I fly at. Also, do you use autofocus? When I try it seems to hunt alot and ends up focusing on the sky at the worst times.

Yes I always use auto focus with the AI servo, it's not near 100% accurate especialy if the target is small and fast but it's the best method for me so far.

definately a shot to remember!! excellent!!

I'm rather partial to the Aussie Roulette PC9 ;)

I reckon the dragonfly won. Only due to reflex.

These battery powered RC Planes are very quick these days. Nothing like a good set of lipo batteries and a brushless motor.
