I know they're not fixed wing, but here's a couple from yesterday. Bill Tinsley's VibeSG...

Still working on getting decent shots of things in flight.

Nice heli. Is that one of the Gray's fuselages?

It's Scott's from last year. I can't remember for sure if it's a Staysee or a Gracy - I think it's a Gracy.

With all the mechanics covered up, and a Zimmermann pipe, these things have such a unique sound. An angry hummingbird maybe? Surprisingly quiet and unbelievably smooth - not to mention crazy fast in forward flight.

Bill has certainly been gracious with his time showing me the ropes. There's no doubt I wouldn't be into RC let alone helicopters without him. I'm hoping to get enough practice this spring to compete at the US Nat's in F3C - likely Class 3, but we'll see how things shape up.
