Ever wonder about the manufactured quantity in rc?
Yeah,
As sad as it was, I would'nt change a thing. That couple seconds of video are worth the price of admission. My son, Corey–who was 9 at the time–was going to solo once I landed that flight. In the video, the "Noooooo" he screamed out has been described by Shaun Evans (Yellow Aircraft) as sounding like "he just watched his dog get ran over by a car". I still get a heartwrenching feeling everytime I hear the audio portion (it's a dad thing).
Now 13, he somehow found the strength to move on. Check the August issue of RCM and read about his 'best scale flight' accomplishments at "Best in the West" last April with his Avons' F-15.
Keep your video cameras rolling constantly, cause you just never know.
By the way, my son was the camera operator.
