Not a lot of RC model flying at the Tokoroa Airfield field today but we did get to see some pretty awful downwind touch and goes from student pilots and the gokart club next door were having an event so here’s some coverage of that.

I was going to say those landings could have been a lot worse, until he nearly had a tailstrike.
Hope to come down next weekend Bruce, health and weather permitting-been busy and crook here plus finishing off a couple of planes Iām working on. Hopefully this windy and changeable patch passes through and we get a few more decent weekends before the winter gets here proper.
That’s not your usual drone footage Bruce, what camera you using on that one it looks good. :))
why don’t you live in Auckland?
I raced stock cars on flat track, in my youth. Those blokes didn’t appear to have a clue about how to negotiate a curve. Entry and exit line. Great change of pace video. š
Was that grumpy trevs grumpy dad at 2:30?!? Hehehe
I’d be pulling my hair out if these were my student pilots!! This sort of shit should be ironed out before you send anyone X-country…..
Great footage Loved the plane landings
You should see if one of those guys will let you rc a kart and go fpv
Did you see the NEAR COLLISION with the light aircraft and the “drone” 0:43 time stamp. Don’t blink, you’ll miss it.
That’s good editing and quality right there,nice video. It was different from the other videos you put on YouTube
Part of PPL training is to teach DOWNWIND landing so you can recognise the extra airspeed required in the event you have no choice but a DOWNWIND landing. As you said “a student pilot’ , so why would you be mocking????? I guess every remote airfield has it’s peanut gallery….”would be’s if they could be’s”. Stay with your RC hobby boys.
Beautiful aerial shots! Nice video!
1:36 is that a cessna 172 diesel skyhawk?
Someone forgot to warm up their tires
Action packed, everything form Karting through to downwind landings lol loved it! Nice chase footage too Bruce
Anyone ever roll the go-carts? Looks dangerous!
Wings & wheels two of my favourite things ?
That flag marshal was on the ball getting the yellow flag out?
You have the most bazaar RC flying field, sharing full sized aircraft & a goKart track. So many distractions, you guys must be fully trained full balsy RC pilots to be able to fly there š
