“We were at the Hodges Hobbies All Electric Fly In, aka HHAEFI (pronounced ‘hay-fee’). Held October 16 through 18, it’s been held for nine straight years and is hosted by Mac Hodges on his beautiful, manicured field in Americus, Georgia. Chris Scoggins was the CD (contest director). It’s a really laid-back fun-fly. The nighttime antics are legendary, suffice it to say.
“This is a shot of me (Jay Skinner) launching Mark Murdock’s (L) Rare Bear Fun Fighter. It’s sporting a 4S 1,000 LiPo battery with a 40-amp ESC (electronic speed control). The rest is stock. It does over 100 mph and, according to Mark, ‘it keeps you on your toes.’”
Judy shot the image with a Nikon D60. Camera settings:
- Focal length: 98 mm
- Aperture: f/5.6
- ISO: 100
- Shutter speed: 1/500 second
