Hi I'm a newbie heli pilot & just recently got hooked up with these guys.
The field is 600 feet above sea level & overlooks Davao City & the Davao gulf. It is a private field, but flyers can come fly anytime without paying a cent, this includes free snacks.
Present day...
I finally get to meet some of the "veteran" movers of Davao RC.
It was a good day spent flying.
Site location: Magtuod Hilltop, Davao City (overlooking)
Pilots:
Mang Vic (glider, F-18 & SU-27)
Mang Tony (Phase 3 E-bipe)
Mang Bel(moral support ;D)
Sir Romy(pasyal-pasyal)
Sir Erwin (Raptor Titan)
Sir Jojo ( F-15E, Hirobo Shuttle)
Sir Roland/zerodivide (Sceadu 50, Raptor 30)
Hansolo (*I got no video flying, I switched it to still/picture mode just before giving the camera to zerodivide. I did my first nose in landing in front of everyone. I was happy then, I'm still happy now.)
First flight. Sir Jojo with his scratch built F15E Strike Eagle

Many thanks to Mang Vic. This whole flying field was his idea. A brilliant one If I may say.
Fly smooth,
Allan
