Taken from around Scenic Flyers RC field near Watkinsville, GA

We are still working on getting a good photo of the flying site, but here is the pit area:

Some scenery from the surrounding area...

In learning to fly, I "landed" our Easy Fly 40 along the highway just to the left of the driveway to the cemetery.  Not bad considering that this is over the horizon from the flying field :-).  Damage was minor.  We got it back only thanks to the good guys at Scenic RC who saw it go down.  I had no idea it was so far away!

The above three photos were taken in sequence.  Note the red car.  The above photo is Bethabra Baptist Church church located west of  the US78 and GA53 junction, to the south of US78.    The graveyard is across the street road from this.  These landmarks are not visible from the airfield.

More photos from the same area...
