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

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.
