There is an anti-social bird in my favourite flying area, trying to shoot me out of the air whahah ;) . He has hit my plane several times and I even had to land once, because he flipped my video TX antenna upside down in a 45 degree angle causing blackouts in my video goggles. You can clearly hear the bird following and attacking me, listen for "thump" sounds and watch for irregular behaviour of my airplane!!
I will fly in other areas from now on until breeding season has passed, so this VERY protective bird can do his thing!
RC SETUP: Multiplex Easystar airplane, Permax 480 4D inrunner brushless motor on a 3s 2200mAh LiPo, GoPro HDHERO camera with 5.8GHz video TX. Futaba 2.4GHz rc link. DIY ski goggle with built in display, XGY1000 HeadTracker.
P.S. Thanks to MR HENSHOOTER for revealing the species name, which is: PLOVER. I checked it out on the net and all characteristics seem to match. A PLOVER also breeds in cornfields, and guess what, there are cornfields where I am flying over.....
Thanks mate!!!

    Actually, I have to thank YOU, because thanks to your video I decided to buy my first RC-toy. Yesterday I spend the whole day searching on the internet for a Easy Star RTF. Since it seems not to be available anymore, I ended up ordering a Bixler V1.1... I think that one will work to get me started in this amazing and beautiful RC world Thank you again!

    Check out my comment above. He did get on the Bird's 6 at 5:52 but overall I agree. He yielded his 6 to the birds. And then boom at 7:45 he pulls a real maneuver, had he not kept that stuff up his sleeve he could have used the planes superior power/weight ratio to over come the birds agility

    That is a really thrilling effect. It was like I was in that plane, and able to look around me, -so it was more like a 'first person experience' ! (Vicarious.) Interesting expression there. Remember when people used to experience things first hand ? Now we just seem to want a virtual experience so we don't have to suffer the inconvenience (of being mangled-up in a real airplane crash, in this case !) Great footage. Quite extraordinary.

    Highly impressed at the birds ability to match the climb rate. The bird is clearly more maneuverable. Climbing right hand turn at 5:52 won you the bird's 6 and that was the only instance of it. 7:45 Another Bird Strike while a second is seen flying lower (multiple bogies), and right after that incident you pull a very nice maneuver. The whole time I thought the plane wasn't capable of anything like that. If you had used randomized spinning dives like that paired with aggressive sweeping climbs over and over you likely could have used the planes power to weight ratio to overcome the birds agility. Over all it seemed you were reserved and the birds won the day.

    Very cool first person pilots view on flight. Were you wearing glasses with headset to hear the actual sound as well or just straight video screen with speakers on controls? Great flying BTW, I liked that split S maneuver you did but wasn't sure if that was enough to evade the bird. It looked great from that perspective. Wasn't sure if you throttled back when you heard the bird getting close to not hurt the bird and your equipment but I'm glad there were no losses! Thanks for great footage.
