Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Low flyin' pics are so entertaining I decided to make my own. After peeling the wrapper off this new RC Parkzone P47 and taking the trim flight I thought of you plane nut guys and the low flyin thread.

As many low passes and touch & goes we could do before the battery died.

Stellar moments at 5:12 and the landing at 6:12. Didn't see much point starting a thread so hope I'm adding some enjoyment to the low flyers.
I've seen plenty of photos of the real thing landed as you did at 6:12, so you're in good company!Stellar moments ... the landing at 6:12.
That plane in Pic #2 looks more like an RC Model than a full scale aircraft. Which is it?Time for Christmas season low flyer pics!

That is indeed an award winning photograph. Close call for the pilot. Glad for the safe outcome.If I may, this is the story on the Mig 17.
Not really low level flight, this pilot nearly buys the farm at the bottom of a loop. The tail strike occurred during at a 1990 airshow in Harrison, Arkansas. Photographer, who was a technician for the FAA and somewhat of a camera buff, was tracking with his camera, as this guy looped off the deck in a MiG-17. The pilot had just completed a loop and misjudged his pull-out. Everyone considering themselves as potential victims, took-off running in all directions. But the photographer had a non-threatening position along with a strong motivation to take the picture. So just as the MiG scraped the ground, he captured this rare image… Oh, by the way, the guy just made a wide circle, lowered his landing gear, touched down . . then taxied in showing scratched paint, but no sheet metal damage.
