Nothing improves your depth perception and flight skills, than trying to cut a 12m streamer being towed behind a powered 'glider', while simultaneously trying to avoid collisions with your club mates.

Below is footage from a very nervous Bixler 1.1 Park Flyer under 'attack' from various members Park Flyer aircraft tasked with cutting the towed streamer. A small 'key chain' camera has been attached to the tow model and the footage has been edited for the highlights.

Models used include Profile 3D, Powered glider, scale civilian and scale warbird generally in the 1m (approx) wingspan Park Flyer class.

Although potentially hazardous for the models involved, thanks to EPO foam construction, any collisions are only a few hours away from airworthiness. Fun indeed!
