Only a 1Gb SD card in the 808SpyCam, ran out of memory.
So didn't get the landing..


But here's a landing just for you...

Well done Sean!  :clap:
I assume you had two separate flights, one with the camera facing forward and one with it facing rearward?
Or,…..I’m wondering :?: , did you have one flight, with two cameras mounted on the model?

Anyway thanks for showing the landings. A lot of people recon you can tell the skill of a pilot simply by his landings. (That’s why you’ll never see any of my landing on this forum!!! :oops: )

over 3 hours of flying... 8) on Sunday ,12 to 15 mph wind ssw/sw
only filmed two flights ( front and rear )
second landing on the vid is bad,couldn't get it down as the wind had picked up, then it stalled on me ,no damage to the Rad other then the canopy popping off...
