Flying:
I enjoy flying model airplanes. I have a nice collection including a scale monsun bo209, an aventura seaplane, an eco-8 helicopter, a hobby-lobby three dee, a sig rascal 40, and a few other odball planes like a foamy piper.
All of the aircraft are electric, utilizing:
AXI outrunner brushless motors,
castle creations controllers(the best bar none),
thunder power lithium polymer batteries,
and either JR or HiTech flight packs.
These planes have an outstanding power to weight ratio, usually 2:1, with unlimited vertical on all but the largest plane, the rascal.
Below are some miscellanious pictures of the aircraft.

Another great thing I like to do is areal photography. In the Pictures section, the first 2 categories are
areal photo's taken from my RC airplanes.
Recently I got a new camera, the canon SD110, capable of taking up to 3 minutes of video. Video from the plane is very cool. Check out the video below:
