24-03-05 flight of the navigator

Apologies for the lack of messages over the next few days, it's a long weekend, which means that
I'll be on dial-up until Tuesday. Rather than toiling and swearing at the computer, I'll just
catch up with you all then.

Had a decent day at work, and then an early exit, so I could get along to the dive shop to sort
myself out with some kit for Saturdays dive. Thankfully all I need to do now is keep my fingers
crossed, and hope that the conditions are right!

Once I got home I realised that there wasn't a breath of wind, so I shot back out the door with my
brother and the remote controlled plane in tow. I've not yet had a chance to fly it, given the
inclement Scottish weather. This is of course a shot of the plane disapearing into the sunset.
Today's session with it has confirmed that I'm good at landing very quickly as opposed to flying.
OK I crashed. A lot. My brother on the other hand was a natural. This was taken with the camera
upside down in my left hand and the plane was in my right. It's obviously been PS'd a bit.

A remote controlled plane, a beautiful sunset, and a camera, what more could a man want?

Olympus C-50Z

Waaaaah! I didn't realize that you also did RC? I'm now completely jealous! I had to move on from RC about 7 years ago, and recently I'm considering going back to it! Nice capture - good thing you kept it in the air while shooting!

Great sky, looks like a fun toy - sure you'll get the hang of it in no time, I'm sure you learn something new every time you 'land' it!
