DO NOT Call Them ‘Toys’ This is the last of the programs we shot at the 2008 E-Fest event that SO boggled our minds a few months ago. It was one of the most amazing air displays ANN and Aero-TV has ever seen was and was (pretty much) run on batteries… no kidding. The growing popularity of small, electric Radio-Controlled aircraft (of ALL kinds and configurations) has given rise to an amazing event, held each Winter in Champaign, IL. They call it “E-Fest” and all manner of electrically powered airplanes, motorgliders, helicopters, warbirds and even ‘jets’ gather together for a weekend INSIDE the massive University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Armory Track and Field Facility — to fly… in some truly extraordinary ways. E-Fest is hosted by Great Planes, Inc., a major player in the model aircraft industry and over the course of the last few years, the event has grown to become known (and documented) worldwide. While must of the weekend is devoted to simple “free-flying,” a number of competitions do take place. In just the last few years, RC Model Airplanes, especially the electric versions, have come down aggressively in price, are available in just about EVERY RC hobby shop, and have become far more easy to fly. This has happened, in large part, due to better design, enhanced powerplants, better radio technology, very quit noise signatures, and (as a result) have quite simply become one of the fastest growing segments in model aviation. But… how do they work? How hard …

@stevecoterell9 hi – was a good show wasnt it , if you go down the wwl road dont get a triplane , i had a ripmax fokker dr1 which flew well but was a bitch on the ground . the narrow wheel track caused lots of probs until she finaly dug a wing in and cartwheeled causing a lot of damage . good luck !
Dawn patrol were superb – never had a bi plane but after that i may purchase one . Well done and captured.. s
