A Man and His Plane Posted by Greg Smith on Dec 19, 2006, 14:02 I admit it. I have actually looked at slopes I fly at with Google Earth wondering if the satellite happened to catch me out there flying. Looks like someone actually was in England. Power field but still the first probable instance of a person flying an RC plane I've seen so far. You can download a small file for Google Earth here: http://www.googleearthhacks.com/dlfile23103/a-man-and-his-plane.htm Besides seeing a fellow out having good time flying his model, Google Earth is great for scoping out potential slopes for us slope soaring types. Check it out at: http://www.google.com/earth/ Print this article - Email this article ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
