COMPILATION 17

ACTION FROM 17 Tele-Pilot VIDEOS
'The Best Of Tele-Pilot'

This video contains the BEST UNDER WAY ACTION, a Tele-Pilot with a difference. This is a video for those that may have several Tele-Pilots already. Not only being some of the best action, but action that may be of interest, even though you are unlikely to visit the locations at all or in the foreseeable future. In this video the sequences are complete, as opposed to the two 60 minute previews, that simply contain short out-takes. It is a fun to watch video with bags of contrasting learning. A great present for anyone who likes boats.
