Attended the Dick Coles Memorial Fly In last Saturday in Palmetto, Fl. Somewhat out of my comfort zone as I have never shot them before. I now know 1/640 to 1/800 is not fast enough. Some of the planes were about 2' long and went up to 5' to 6' long.
The last two images are from what is called "Combat". Each plane starts out with long streamers. The object is to use your plane to cut off another planes streamers. At the end the plane with the longest streamer remaining wins.

Second picture is an upside down Das Ugly Stick, one of the oldest planes built from plans or kits in exsitence. After 38 yrs still going strong. Lots of fun.

Great set. I have always loved RC planes. I never learned to fly one, though. And then came the much easier to fly quadcopter drones and I was hooked.

Very nice, Don! Funny; I have the same two planes, (same size also) same colors as in the first photo. My ugly stick has flaps though.
