Warbirds Over the Rockies 2011
- John Dussold is quickly becoming the "official" photographer for Best Pilots! We had the pleasure of John accompaning us to Ft. Collin's CO, and Warbirds over the Rockies, where he took some great shots of the action. He would have taken more, but Steve Forrest and I kept him busy spotting for us and John also did some flying as well. Enjoy!
Formation Flying
- Flying formation with RC Aircraft. Flying formation is challenging in an aircraft when you are sitting in it, try to do it from the ground and you better have excellent depth perception and a great wingman!

These guys make such great flying kits I made a Lothar von Richthofen specifically for their Fokker Dr-1, D-VII and D-VIII! - Wylie Waribirds
Great guys from Texas. They use what they sell, so you can be assured it is best-in-class. They also have video and pictures of their RC adventures. Highly recommended RC Scale inspiration! - 1/8 Scale Catalina by Sturla Snorrason
Have some of my pilots and need a model for them to go in? Check out Sturla's 1/8 scale (13 ft. wingspan) PBY-Catalina. Sturla is a craftsman's craftsman, and his Catalina is AWESOME! - RCSCALEBUILDER.COM
