The Des Moines, Iowa Modelair's held their annual Fall War Bird Fun fly. The weather was great and we had a big turnout.

  • No, we fly at the Modelair's RC club which has two flying locations. One in the Dallas/Grimes area and the other, located in Bondurant. I'm the VP of the club and if you're interested, you could either attend a monthly meeting, or come out and meet some of the guys. We have a January 1 Penguin Fun Fly scheduled at our Bondurant location.

  • Thanks guy ! Comments like that keep me video taping (in between flying).

  • Thanks for the kudos !

  • Nice video. Did you ever go to see the Ankeny, Iowa air show? They had a scale model recreation of WWII that had an absolutley huge model B-29 Enola Gay fly over and drop a bomb. Was always an impressive show, wish they still did it.

  • No, I moved here to Iowa about 5 years ago and by then, the airshow was done. One of the club members was kind enough to loan me a 1987 video of the show and it just makes me wish I had seen it.

  • Thanks red, I enjoy flying warbirds, sport planes, and aerobatic models. You are correct about some planes flying just like their full-scale counterpart. It's a shame when I see a new flyer come out with a cub that some hobby store has sold him (or worse, a warbird), thinking they can fly the model. Cubs tend to be squirrely on the ground just like their full-size big brothers and warbirds require special handling as well.

  • Are you the guys that fly in water works park? I have always wanted to get into rc planes, I kicked around the idea of building a Stuka

  • Thats great. I am a big Warbird fan and I really enjoyed watching your video of these beautiful R/C Warbirds. Love it!

  • awesome models!

  • For the bomber in the begining, what were the bombs

  • My bad, I meant "Corsair."

  • Amazing detail on that Convair Vought, Spitfire, and Lightning. I thought I was watching an airshow!
