LOVE IT

@HedgehogHappieness Thanks, was great fun whilst it lasted - unfortunately plane was retired - and component parts sold off :0(

Still have 400D but even that doesn't get any use, because I also own a 5d to do commissioned photography.

Nice video!

I live on The Chase which is the main street where you were flying over.

If you ever fancy a trip in a real Piper, I fly the real thing up in North Weald. Happy to take you up for a trip.

What kind of camera were you using on the model plane?

Hi x5pilot

Thanks for the comment, Where about on the chase do you live? I know the development well - I am a photographer by trade and have done a few full size aerial photo ops from heli's to probably my favourite so far a Yak 52 which the guy let me fly for a little while (incl. a loop) very cool! what Piper do you fly out of North Weald? May take you up on that offer of a flight, its very kind. (camera for video was a fuji fine pix 5600, stills taken using a Canon EOS 400D)
