This weekend was the annual fun-fly over on a back unused runway of the Cdn Forces Base in Comox B.C.
Although they don't actively use the runway anymore, it is still a workable site for many activities....namely, R/C flying......Wendy and I took a pass here this afternoon and saw some of the usual good scale stuff which flies on Vancouver Island at different venues....this one in particular brings together many like-minded fellas....here is some of the pit line-up.....sorry its not much but the sun was blazing and we didn't stay too long......

Great shots!!

  I go to the R/C club near me once in awhile to watch them fly.  Some of the aircraft they have are amazing!!

Love the Giles in shot #1, Carl Goldberg Extra 300S Last shot? Looks like a nice fleet of aircraft, the Yak also looks nice in the last shot.

Last shot is the Goldberg Extra 300 and a I thought the other was a Sukhoi, it may be a Yak.....second last shot is a Stormovik Il-2,....

This brings back a lot of nice memories. I haven't done any R/C flying for far too long.

That Beaver

That Beaver

Looks like an Otter to me.

Love that Sturmovik- not your typical RC model! And that Fleet is very nice, too.... and those racers... OK, they're all terrific.

I still haven't got into RC flying yet; prob'ly for the best... all that time and money, then they crash.

This brings back a lot of nice memories. I haven't done any R/C flying for far too long.

I totally know the feeling, I've not been out for quite a while myself.........

Looks like an Otter to me.

Right you are, Doug indeed it is......

Wonderful shots and models Ken

Nice model of the DHC-3 "Otter"  :)

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

It has been too many years since I flew RC for me also.
There is noithing like the old smell of burning nitro and castor oil.  ;D
With today's use of synthetic oil, it just doesn't seem the same somehow.

Oh, glad that I am still an active R/C pilot...!

Nice photos, interesting models !

We had 2 cuties at our airfield last time, too, 2 Grumman F3Fs... 80pounds each, 240ccm engines...... darn nice... Great display, shame that both crashed that day....

Ive never flown an RC plane cause Ive never been able to afford one.  Ive always wanted to have an RC plane but they are just so expensive!
