dynamic soaring
The one with nerves of steel is the one holding the radar gun with a
several pound RC "missile" coming at them at 200+ !

It is absolutely fascinating. The RC guys have reached 300+mph doing
this. I personally have clocked someone flying a 2M wingspan RC glider
doing 209mph. It is amazing how fast the energy builds up and how
quickly speed goes from 40 to 150+
It requires nerves of steel and amazing reflexes to dive to the ground
at 200+ and pull out only a couple of feet above ground though!
