Southeast Texas Warbird Rally 2022 || RC Planes
These are some diehard RC pilots! First day, rained out. Second day, heavy overcast skies with a cool damp, strong breeze that left everyone searching for a place to get out of the wind. Other than that, 27 pilots showed up and put on a great show. There was plenty of action with a few oops moments, a nasty crash and an awesome afternoon 3D demonstration. Make sure to put this event on next year's calendar!
