Beautiful scratch built RC Flying Boat | Short S.26 Golden Hind | Built and flown by Michael Roach
Michael gives a lovely demonstration of his Golden Hind before giving me some details and especially why this model is of such significance for him personally. Exceptional aero-modelling and a privilege to film it in action.
Filmed by Dom for the Essential RC KZbin channel using the Panasonic HC-X2 Pro 4K camcorder.
