Shell Island from the Air
Ever wondered what Shell Island looked
like from the air?
Well thanks to Martin you can. This was filmed from his
RC plane while staying with a group of friends at the end of May during the
weekend heat wave. He used a FlyCamOne v2 camera on board a Stryker. This is
an electric power, polystyrene, 32" wingspan plane.
He'd Always wanted to do some coastal aerial video and thought it would be
cool to get some of his campsite.
It's interesting to see the island from that high.

WARNING - Gas Stove Warning !!!
Thanks to Andy N for this info
