Do you have a photo of the damage on the P4? It is one propeller, but probably there are also scratches on the vehicle itself?

Not a scratch on the P4, right rear prop snapped in half. She still flew but was erratic.  Amazing product.

You sure get around, now its Tasmania? Nice shots.

For those that don't know, that whole area should be covered in trees, but bad mining and on-site smelting pratices in years gone by have poisoned all the vegetation. Around 50 years ago there was not a live blade of grass in that whole area.

The wedge tail eagle is very territorial, they attack real aircraft.  Have a look at some of my photos here

where they are attacking our remote control gliders.  These birds are huge, they have a 2 metre wingspan.

Great video too, I can not believe it did not knock you out of the air!!!!

cheers
