White Sands 2.wmv

I took this video from my radio-controlled model helicopter (Align T-Rex 600 electric) over White Sands National Monument. The video is all normal speed. I mention that because of the crazy-slow rotor shadows caused by the camera (Canon SD1000 set at 30 frames per second).

Thanks, bro! Hahaha.....she's already pretty trusting of a little helicopter flying nearby that has carbon fiber blades whirling with a tip speed of almost 300 mph. I try to keep a reasonably safe distance in case of mechanical failure, though.

Shoulda buzzed her though...... :-)

Thanks, Lars! I have the light green foam pool noodles on the landing skids to give the chopper a little more for visual reference, but it's kinda lame to see them in the video. I plan to chop a few inches off the front of them before the next aerial video.

Beautiful scenery and remarkable helicopter flying. Looks real. Some black or brushed aluminum skids would be perfect.
