That model is an Ellipse 2V, painted BMW Silver with a darker
silver or charcoal canopy painted on. The flying was done by
Dave Larsen and it was filmed near Auckland, New Zealand. Dave
has actually written up the story behind the shoot and it's
currently featured (with some pic's) on the Lomcovak website
at: http://www.lomcovak.cz/eindex.html
Definately worth a read!
There's also a photo of the model in it's current revised
color scheme in the Photo Gallery of our club webpage at:
http://www.rcmodels.com/clubs/asfcnz/
(it's the one nearest the camera in the middle photo on page 2).
The tip panels have been returned to their original white/red
and it's sporting a new tail as the original was a bit heavy
with a repair and the silver paint.
Ciao - Chris
