Finally everything clicked, good weather, plenty of daylight, work done for the day.
Lot of other slope-worthy chaps seemed to be working late but I didn't let that stop me from getting few shots on the camera. Enjoy!   :)

Nr.1 on the map, about 10 minutes from the international airport.

Oh yes, you put some thought into that video didn’t you! :D

You must have spent some effort setting up the camera then walking out to your launching/flying position. I must say I’m very impressed with the panning shots, flying and filming at the same time :clap:  It’s a little like rubbing your tummy and patting your head at the same time. :lol:

At the end of the video we see the model being launched apparently after it had had a rather “unconventional” landing :oops: . Was it actually flyable after that little mishap?

Very enjoyable Sverrir,……thanks for posting. :clap:

Surprisingly little...  :lol:

The panning was done by taping my Mobius to a ballcap, will need to work on the placement, the angle it a bit too low.
It was flyable, the take-offs in the end are in the order they were performed.

Nice video selleri, the scenery there looks stunning and freezing at the same time.
