    I took the camera with me on Sunday.
    The place is Dublin Kestrel model Flying Club, Brittas, Co Dublin.
    Here are of the models flying at the club field.

    This one is interesting, it illustrates the difficulty of orientation, knowing which side up, and exact direction the model in going....
    Looking at the pic it takes a second or three to figure that the near wing is slightly down and therefore the model is moving away (from us) as well as from right to left.
    But the flyer has no time to figure this out, he knows instantly.
    Consider the orientation difficulties this model poses, in front of a white cloud, while it twists and turns, one moment right way up, then inverted, maybe at 400 yards out and doing 80mph.
