ISR Glide-in - 30 - 31st of May - Mt Leinster
« Reply #30 on: June 02, 2009, 12:22:58 PM »
I ventured up the slope myself on Sunday morning for a few hours. No wind so had to use the motor to get some height. Eventually found some thermals to keep the plane up.

I just flew my stock easystar with flycamoneV2 attached to the canopy. I have 20mins or so video recorded so I will do some editing & post up just a few minutes.



I had an easyglider too but did not use it as the wind was non existant and did not fancy a long walk in that heat!

Very good Anthony !  :D

Keith, for the video, I'll check what I have, not sure worth it, as after a few shots, just told myself feck it ! Much prefer flying !  :P  :D  :D

Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!

Cool photos.
Good to see them as i only stoped there for a bit by the end of the afternoon. Saturday I'm in resting mode, so it's hard to make my body move sooner in the morning! :D
But i promise next time I'll be there to get the first sun rays of the day and fly more.
Cause the little i did definitely showed me I'm loosing the few skills i had. :)

In all it was nice to see some friendly faces and planes in the air.

I do also made some movies with my &%%$&%& flycamone. That decided to loose power in the middle of all the flights.
Still i have the T1000 flying a bit and some wings flying around.

Video taken with FLYCAMONEV2 at Mt Leinster. I have to change the angle of the camera so the nose does not appear in future clips.  :oops:

IceWind: The FlyCam as you know is not all that reliable, which is a pity. It has a mind of its own when it decides to cut out on you even with a full battery. But decent quality picture for the size and weight of it.


Great photos posted by the way.  :clap:

So you were flying off the North Slope on Sunday Anthony :clap: . We'd been flying off of the South slope the previous day.
Nice little clip of film there, and as you say, very clear. Good cam' that one.

I might have to get myself one of those things. Luke got his aerial shots by strapping his phone to the plane with rubber bands! :shock:  (He's a brave man that Luke :wink: )

Are you going to the MACI Glide-In next weekend?

K.
Try not to run out of airspeed, altitude and ideas....... all at the same time.
