That could have gone a lot better - RC planes

Give an old man an RC plane and interesting things can happen. Join the crew at the Tokoroa Airfield for another fun day of flying, fails and frivolity. This is just the first part of what was a great day's flying... subscribe and like so you don't miss part 2.

I love those little editing easter eggs you put in for us Bruce.

[@billwiththeb]

Nice video Bruce..my kitty came running in hearing those birds chirping away..keep on keeping on mates.

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic video, Bruce! Thanks so much for sharing!!! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@bokusimondesu]

Nice looking models, at least until the first landing. 😅 Great episode of Tokoroan Old Farts Having a Good Time. 😊

[@x-stream]

Taxi back man!!! LOL

[@semadragun]

Loved the rabbit talking to the bird edit! 😂😄

[@johnnichol9412]

Looks more like a hare, rabbits show a white flash on their tail when hopping a way and are not as long legged.

[@kilroy07]

LOL, I gotta ask, is your whole club Doctors and Lawyers?!!! Who else can afford such glorious mayhem?!

[@menotu8440]

Thanks for sharing the video. Good to see you all in good health.

[@GrutteKlier]

Hi Bruce, nice video again! Me and my grandson are going rogue this weekend! He is flying a mini2 and i'm flying a toy grade glider, hopefully we don't end up in jail these days 😂

[@Truth12345]

My cat also enjoyed the video

[@stevendegiorgio3143]

I like that new flag you got that says international model flying park.Thats really nice.I would love to be there.

Cool lot of flying and good fun! Laurie 😊

Great video. Good to hear you’re enjoying improving weather. Here in the northern hemisphere we’ve got the opposite with colder temperatures, wind and rain. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@Orciwan548]

I like this video style. Super relaxed just watching some planes haha. Not afraid to laugh off the mistakes too good group.

[@twofacedmctwoface4876]

As an xflight test pilot on supersonic fighter/bombers, could I suggest RC builders reduce their servo speeds by at least 65% which will reduce control overcorrections and hence landing accidents by at least 50%... in addition flights will look more authentic...

[@busta521]

I reckon, those big Rabbits could allmost pass for Kangaroos 🐰🦘😅🇦🇺

[@givemespace2742]

They have hares in NZ? I knew that had a lot of introduced pests but I need to add hares to the list.

[@hamshackleton]

Those NZ kangaroos were hareing about!

[@james_860]

Nice to see good weather in NZ . Thanks for sharing

[@xjet]

Ah well, it is spring so things *are* warming up. Now I'll just have to find a decent hill so I can slope soar with all the predicted westerly winds that they claim we'll be getting this summer.

[@truenaturestormers2525]

I love the videos, so good to see all of you.

[@rjung_ch]

3:13 what? The bird has no Remote ID, that's why 🤣🤣🤣

[@Paul-hv2cb]

thats what called splitting hares😁

[@johnnichol9412]

One who knows the difference.

[@jsvno]

Wish all of you a good summer down there - where mosquitos fly upside down... Here in Norway the thermometer is descending down to the red... Why could not the earth be flat, so we all could have summer at the same time, then at new years eve we could flip the earth and have winter...

[@user-of2su2wv9f]

I really enjoy your flying videos, you, Ron and the rest. I recall something I think is funny perhaps ironic about the Councils granting wings or taking them away. The movies had John Wick deemed Incommunicado, The Prisoner, Number 6, deemed Unmutual. And your wings are Invalid. It's comical how we buy into this 💩. Thank you my friend😊❤🙏

[@sUASNews]

I am surprised you were flying in that wind, the flag was straight out

[@matthewjames4268]

Enjoy your summer. 2ft of snow already in Calgary. And i'm 14th on the list to join my closest field. Almost as bad as your council to keep a small group of like minded ppl only flying there.

[@embededfabrication4482]

have to give those jets a shot of throttle just before you land, they drop out of the sky like a rock. I've smashed my A10 4 times now.

[@Colin_Holloway]

Safe Fun for All... except the actual models!

[@rjung_ch]

Cheers Bruce!👍💪✌

[@WayneCook306]

Tokoroa electric model airfield, come on guys get some piston power out there.

[@xjet]

It's about this time of the year I usually drag out my TT FS91-powered P51 Mustang and let the prop rip.

[@WayneCook306]

Yes, get it out there then, let her rip.@@xjet

[@stevenjandron767]

Gonna be another 6 months before we hear birds like that again t. Enjoy your videos.

[@NiCadHeliPilot]

10:37 👈 I know what's wrong wit it. It ain't got no gas in it!

[@zeemanjr]

Thats not a rabbit, that's a hare. no?

[@bokusimondesu]

Depends on where you're from. USA'ers only have wabbits. But, I agree with you.

[@johnnichol9412]

Yes

[@LWJCarroll]

Mmmm just wondered if the bird happens to be a protected species? Laurie 😊

[@flyingweed9671]

Gosh this looks like fun. I will have to visit again. I don't have a wings qualification. Who's behind do I need to kiss to allow me to fly in Tokoroa?

[@mikehipperson]

Everyone's! 🤣

[@rjung_ch]

Council sure is doing a huge dishonest disservice to all involved. Guess they know nothing yet have the power to destroy the hobby? What dunces. Haven't seen any video from you in a while, hope you're well!

[@Kampala69]

Is that your RC hare? Much safer than you flying anything!

[@xjet]

Landings are a bit bouncy though :-)

[@rc-fannl7364]

I see you're still going strong, nice. Btw, what do you think of KZbin having started a tug of war against add blockers? They claim it's to ensure income for content creators, but considering how YT goes to great lenghts to demonetize videos while still collecting the money from these vids for themselves, it's clear it's about their own income.

[@andrewroozen9151]

Did you lose your hare Bruce ? lol

Hahaha!

You didn’t really do that?!

If you can't crash - have a laugh - - - or should that be the other way around?

[@ChainsawFPV]

That bunny rabbit would be faster with wings. Just sayin......

[@golemsnatch5755]

What's the music at the beginning Bruce. I would really like to hear it all.

[@alanhilder1883]

Did you have a hangover? You had a hare and a dog...

[@_Per_Aspera_Ad_Astra_]

oh boy, bad ! Used to fly too 43 years ago (plane & Heli), but not like that 🥵

[@robaxelsson530]

Bruce.. how to the guys that fly fixed wing feel about FPV their rigs? Guys I fly with seem to be “set in their ways” and don’t want to try..

I'd sure have to fpv that jet if it was mine.

[@xjet]

We are probably a bit unusual in somuch as nobody has a problem with people flying anything. We've had helis, gliders, nitro, gas, EDF, multirotors -- everything and we all enjoy either flying it or watching it. We celebrate that the hobby is so diverse that there's something for everyone. To quote one of my favourite movies "it's a bigg-assed sky" so there's room for everyone.

Hey Bruce what is your opinion on Jacinda?

[@xjet]

She lied to the nation then walked away with a lifetime of taxpayer-funded perks and millions of dollars in speaking engagements. The quintessential politician. In respect to CV19, while her motives may have initially been well-intended, she read far too much of her "mother Jacinda" publicity and totally lost the plot -- becoming far more focused on what's best for Jacinda's image than what was best for the people she was elected to serve. She resigned so that she didn't have to face the embarrassment of being tossed out on her ear (as her party was at the recent elections).

Hey Bruce, is there anything that has kicked off this attack on the hobby? Are people thinking because a drone in Ukraine can carry 'unsafe materials' that basic hobbyists are going to do something stupid?

[@xjet]

Sadly the movitation behind most of the regulations that are crippling the hobby is $money$. Even sadder is that "safety" is being used as the excuse but it's not the reason.
