[6Sally5]

Hahaha! College boys...soon to be designing our structures and vehicles upon which our safety depends! God help us!! LOL

[warderseeker]

@6Sally5 haha...yes youth of the future LOL I want to fly it next time haha

[spektrum33]

I have found that trees walls and fences all seem to be magnetic ? no matter where you fly your plane will find one of them >>sucks dont it <<

[warderseeker]

@spektrum33 light poles, power lines, things like these seem to jump out at you, at the most annoying times LOL

Sweet video... in more ways then one! ;) Who did this remake? It's weird, I just got reunited with my "Sweet: Best Of" CD. My ex GF had it for the last 5 years.. she finally decided to send it to me (among other things of course.. but the CD was the most cherished item in the lot lol).

That plane is bigger then it looked at first! Wow!

[warderseeker]

@erikdravn EX's with your music, yep know what you're talking about LOL This is done by Def Leppard. I believe from an album called Retro Active. Very cool tune, almost on par with the original

[pencon61]

Yup looks like it was built by university Students . ;)

[warderseeker]

@pencon61 haha...like the landing gear folding on the first taxi LOL

[4mods]

Oh man, right from take off too.... bummer. Great video!

[warderseeker]

@4mods thanks dude, ya didn't get too far, but next time... haha

[jauchiu]

What was Kamikaze before it became a RC airfield ? Great video.

[Cubdestroyer]

@jauchiu It was a gravel pit. I am working on a history of the field right now. Planning on posting it to YT in the future.

[warderseeker]

@jauchiu Yep, started out as a gravel pit, then was apparently given to the city for the modeling hobby. The cement circles are from control line events they used to have there, but most of the guys have gone to RC now, except some really cheap guys LOL

[beverke7]

kinda like the movie : 'George George George of the jungle, watch out for that tree'! LOL great vid Ronin, them trees can be a pain in the ass for sure lol

[warderseeker]

@beverke7 Kamikaze trains some of the best pilots, because they learn accident avoidance LOL thanks for watching man

[fluxful]

[warderseeker]

@fluxful thanks, you bet, always happens at the worst possible moment too, when tons of people there to watch haha

[fluxful]

@warderseeker yes yes, but no risk no fun :-)

[startazz]

Damn that was a big old bird,so have any of them boys flown an RC plane before or was that a silly question LOL,i hope they take you up on your offer of letting one of you fly it for them next time ;-) still thanks for sharing this one mate.

[warderseeker]

@startazz thanks man, ya I'd love to try flying it, would be great. Big honkin plane for sure LOL, guy climbing the tree says to us... "Sure.. the biggest fricken RC plane I ever saw, and tallest tree in the park practically" LOL

[nishbrown]

More like, Ronin's RC Treehold!

LOL!

[warderseeker]

@nishbrown LOL perfect The Kamikaze trees take another victim haha. That IS why we call it Kamikaze :-)

[TheLipRipp3r]

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! What a great vid, Ronin!  The whole story combined with the visuals are priceless! We've all been there! Thanks for posting such a great one!!

[warderseeker]

@TheLipRipp3r thanks dude. We get a couple groups like this, last one was doing FPV stuff, but this thing was HUGE.

[cubosensaj]

nice onboard footage

[warderseeker]

@cubosensaj thanks a lot, meant to put the cam on the other wing, so I"d get better shots passing it LOL, Probably help if the plane wasn't upside down while attaching it hahah
