Had a great day at the field today. Instead of the normal flight report that we are all used to seeing, I’ve put together a video flight report from the day.... Read More

I have a short flight report for everybody today. Paul, Bob M, Larry, Bob K, and myself showed up at the field today. The winds were up a bit, but blowing for the most part straight down the runway from the north, however it got really weird and made for choppy and bobbling landings from all. Bob M made a couple of flights on his Stick, Paul flew a couple on his Kaos 60, Larry got a flight in on his Hellcat after he figured out the problems he was having yesterday were caused by and ESC that developed a mind of it’s own, Bob K watched, and I got a couple of flights in on my 4-Star 120. However, today I had a new toy. I purchased a new video camera designed for capturing action video, and I wanted to test it out today. I strapped the camera on the top of the left wing of my 4-Star to try and get in flight video from it. I wanted to see how the camera handled vibration and if I could make a good solid mount for it to use in my videography that I do for www.rcuniverse.com. With the camera on the wing the plane really flew well. At first I thought my bouncy landings were caused from the camera on the wing, but after seeing everybody else fighting the choppy winds I realized it wasn’t the camera, but rather the winds. The plane handled well with camera and I was able to get some really good video out of it. I’ve edited out the best part of the videos and posted it up on the Club’s YouTube channel. If anybody is interested they can watch the video here:... Read More
