Here's the 360° 8 minute video. If you watch it on a mobile device, you can actually move your phone around to change your view, or if you're on a computer you can drag around or zoom. 4gb upload

[thenated0g]

Is this just gong to be mainly foamies from now?

I thought it was a decent mix of foam, wood, and composite.

 

[Wayne]

Yes, mostly foam at Sunset. But we did have a bit of everything.

I love flying foam at Sunset. That site really lends itself wonderfully to mix of models, but since it offers easy recovery, foam combat and silly things is high on my list.

Would be fun to fly an Alpenbrise there and come through the foam at speed. Hmm..

Could be a bit noisy though...
