A Round-up of things relating to RC airplanes, learning to fly RC planes and having fun with my brother
Joe Smith flies 3D maneuvers at the 3D flight line at Joe Nall 2010. This young man is destined for big things in his RC future.
Talented risk-taker Joe Smith flies his big RC acrobatic plane over the pond at the 3D line at Joe Nall 2011.
Another spectacular video from Joe Nall 2011 featuring Joe Smith. Joe is at the 3D line. He’s practicing and occasionally heads to the famous Joe Nall pond, where 3D aerobatics practice rudder dunking.
Mike and I were able to watch this noon demonstration by 17-year-old Joe Smith on Thursday at Joe Nall 2011. All I can say about Joe’s flying is that he’s sensational, phenomenal and repeat the question, “How does he do that?”
“Awesome. I’ve watched this video over ten times,” says one RC hobby pilot about 17-year-old Joe Smith’s noon demonstration at the 2011 Joe Nall Fly-in.
Enjoy watching 73 plus identical T-28 RC planes in the air at the same time. How do the pilots keep up with which plane is their own? What fun! I want to learn to fly one of these!
A marked distinction between the 2007 Joe Nall RC Memorial Fly-in and the 2011 Fly-in exists. It’s obvious that the much anticipated RC event grows in popularity each year.
A series of YouTube videos featuring close-up shots of selected planes from over 2000 RC airplanes and half as many RC pilots at the 2010 Annual Joe Nall Fly-in.
Outside the full-scale airplane hangar at Hartness Field hangs a portrait of the smiling and friendly face of Kirby McKinney. Who was the man behind the welcoming face? How did he come to be much beloved by all?
Thursday morning preparations begin early as pilots and their planes anticipate the events of the day. Here’s the first in a series of photo & video slideshows where Mike takes you to the Joe Nall 2011 main flight line.
