Here are a couple of pics from the Hawaii County R/C Club on the Big Island near my home town of Keaau.   :)

The Red Tail P-51 (FMS V-8) is what I flew today.   :)

Our field is roughly 600-700 ft long and 20 yards wide.  It's located on an old airport radar site used in the 1950's.















:)

But did you get any kills Dave?

Are collisions common flying those R/C kites? Does someone act as an ATC while people are flying?

We normally have only one or two planes in the air at a given time, so no collisions that I've witnessed.

No ATC, however normally the other pilots are watching who's flying and we always get comments on our landings.

Well, its supose to be a 688, but, its missing a few things. Most likely due to the fact their Classified.

Well, your kinda right. When I got the honor of painting the Rickover (giggle). The red came up a lot further. Well over the Sonar Dome. The only time you could see it was in drydock. Otherwise it was green with,,, whatever that nasty stuff it that grows on it was. But, I DO need to repaint the black. Im NOT going to sand it any though. I want the paint to stack up making it appear there is a topcoat of non-skid on the black paint. Im thinking about a flat to charcoal black over coat on the topside. I just got to get the paint first and recut the masking for the stern as well as the bow. Which is a pain. Also, even though it suppose to be a 688. Its not even close. Theres a lot of stuff missing from the outer hull that only a 688 had. But, it was free minus the cost of filament to print it and paint to paint it. Maybe when I get better with my CAD software Ill reimage the stl file to more the likeness of the real boat.
