Based on many comments over the years it's obvious that many of us have been involved in model aircraft of some kind in the past, & many likely were glow plug powered burning Nitro fuel. Well the hobby is changing rapidly & electric power has made huge advances & one of it's best feature's is the quietness. Using electric power allows you to fly without disturbing the neighbors, who usually won't even know you are flying. Both heli's & fixed wing are getting very popular but most people think small when thinking electric. No longer. These were shot at the last event I attended and the Waco has about a 9 foot span, flies very scale like but when he needed power he had plenty.
The Pitts has about a 5 foot span.
And this scale Eurocopter has a rotor span of about 55 inches, and many use that size heli fo carry DSLR's aloft, and electric is best due to the much lower risk of camera blur from engine vibrations.
And this one took off while the club's photographer & I were standing with our backs to it, and neither of knew it had until it was already in the air.
