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

Nothing better than getting to the flying field & having a munch before flying.

Busy still



Kuya Willy putting the thrust bearings/spring upgrade in the main shaft. I don't feel any difference in handling, but it must be good for something.



Gibby, Kuya Willy, Mang Vic, Noel & Mang Joseph. This was a pre-birthday get together at Mang Vic's flying field.



Another shot with the celebrant. Happy Birthday nong Vic!

Post crash analysis: Extra 300S came from the above & hit the Zero prop first, hence the prop bite on the bulls eye.

Neat group of fliers there! Looks like a great place to visit. The spot landing was a classic too!

Oh Snap we got more Pinoys on here!

Go Pinoy! Nice flying field. Are we the only Pinoys in FG?

Wow mga kababayan!

Thanks RappyMan, I just got into the hobby & it's just nice that I get to hang out with the local group. Glad you liked the spot landing.

Yup AirborneSGT, I'm just grinning like crazy & can't seem to stop smiling when I go flying. How can I not when I'm having so much fun.

Mabuhay tayong lahat mndbndr3d! I hope we are not the only ones here.


If by any remote chance anyone could visit, I'l gladly be your humble guide. I mean it.

zerodivide present!
