Default Discover Wings Show on R/C Aerobatics

There is a Discovery Wings show on R/C Aerobatics on tonight at 10:00 PM EDT and then several times tomorrow.

A lot of the footage was shot at Joe Nall this year.

I saw one on aerobatics in general with some RC footage, but didn't see one that was devoted to RC.

The Show was called acrobatic Pushing the limits and showed Mr. Null demonstating Torgue Rolls and Hovers over water. I caught the last half hour of it.
Good show about scale and RC areobatic. I think its on now and again on at 1PM

It was really good, I watched the rerun as well followed by the amazing show on OSHKOSH. Loved them both as I got to see alot of full sized CAPS, Extra's and Edge's perform. good stuff!

It seems like DWC airs re-runs of all the prime time shows all day long Saturday and Sunday. Ought to be a couple of chances to catch this show during the weekend.

Or maybe not Schedule looks like it airs a couple of times today...that's it!

Sideshow, I'm with you man. I noticed that it was coming on a little too late for me to stay up last night so I went in and plugged it into the Tivo and it's sitting at home waiting for me to watch.

Yep-- saw it a week or so ago-- (got it recorded too) Got (MY HERO) "Da Man" Jim LeRoy on there. There is also another on full scale World championships-- "World Aerobatic Championships" I think is the name of it. No freestyle shown though-- All Arista stuff-- Good nonetheless-- Thought it was strange that Kirby Chambless drops from 3rd to 8th because of a silly rules infraction that nobody knew about (reminds me of golf)-- Also he was the only Amercian Plane flyer. Everybody else flew Extras, Caps, and Sukhois--he was the only Edge to mention.

I'm glad I saw this. Just called the wife, and the last showing is coming on at 4pm CST (a mere 25 minutes from now).

Shes tossing in a good old VCR tape, and I'll be able to watch it over dinner.

Thanks,

Dave

I thought the full-scale stuff was at least as good as the RC (although the RC stuff was far too short)! I wish that the section on Zivko was a bit longer-- I would love to see more about how they make the full-scale Edge! Like most shows on Wings, there is just enough information to get you excited and then no details...

One question, I thought that Horizon did a Matt Champman scheme on their Cap. Why was he wearing a Futaba shirt?

Oh, and for those of you that have this recorded... during the last five minutes of the show, when they are talking about the 4-minute Free at the World Aerobatic Championship in Florida, watch for the "crowd shot" of the little girl in sunglasses. Right behind her is a guy in a yellow shirt looking-up and filming the show. That's me! I about fell off the couch when I saw this last night!

It was pretty good, especially when the narrator mentioned our "toy" airplanes.
