Turboprop powered RC plane
I'm not sure exactly what this is a model of but it appears to owe a lot to the P51D Mustang, yet this RC plane is powered by a turboprop engine and was flown at Tokoroa Airfield this weekend.
The ground-handling looked to be pretty limited and eventually it was retired after bending its landing gear (as shown in a slow-mo segment near the end).
Most of this video was shot from quite a distance away and I was at full zoom a lot of the time.
For those interested in the technical aspects of this vide:
Camera: Sony PJ760V with "super steady shot" gimballed lens
Extra glass: a very cheap 10x telephoto lens ($30) bringing the total zoom up to 27x but you can see the color fringing in some of the high-zoom shots. But hey... what do you expect for $20 :-)
Video editor: Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12
The first part of the video and the landing sequence uses the Sony Stabilize effect to reduce camera-shake (it was a cold day and I was shivering a bit). The low pass (with ground in frame) through to the landing was filmed without any post-edit stabilization, hence the shaking. The almost tip-up was filmed in the PJ760's 240 FPS super-slow-mo mode, as were the shots of the Eurofighter taking off and landing. Unfortunately, in this mode, the resolution drops and the footage is interlaced, not progressive.
