Home Millie Astro Cameras/Lenses Dawn II Model Aircraft

Flying model aircraft has been a great passion of mine for many years. I started out on a high wing trainer and then progressed to sports and aerobatic models shortly afterwards. In 2005 I decided to learn how to fly model helicopters which has proved both enjoyable and extremely challenging.

The following links are to photos and videos of both fixed wing and helicopter models. Please click on the links to view the photos and videos. Videos may be downloaded.

Last Flight of the Loaded Dice June 2015

Movement of fuel tank caused engine to cut out - subsequent shift in the CoG and loss of airspeed resulted in forced landing onto an electric fence.

Camera mounted in cockpit area.
