Gedreht hat ihn Christian Koubek mit Christian Ramoser, ich bin nur die Internetverbindung und die postproduction.
Auch mit alter Technik und Flycam1 mit viel Kreativität, viel Spaß bei der Sache und Geduld kann man einen hervorragenden Film machen.
Is the BV 138 being flown FPV as well?
The Flycam1 shots look a lot like stock WWII footage that's been colorized for some reason.
Great flying. It's usually hard to fly formation that well.
The chase plane is FPVed, and Chris is an extraordinarily talented pilot.
Occasionally the sticks are stirred a bit too much causing abrubt maneuvers, but overall nice smooth flying.
Chris is the smoothest pilot alive, honestly;-)
could you give me a link or the thread title?

Malheureusement sans l'avion.
The B24 and your twin star would be a nice
addition. I love the open cockpit. We could really produce a movie from that stuff.
We can make a very beautiful movie wiht your and my plane.
Félicitations pour ces magnifiques prises de vues !
mit viel liebe zum detail...

the BV-138 was completely scratch built.
There is a 1/72 Model by Revell which can be used to take measurements from.
Bravo !

I have been learning FPV for a while now, starting 10 years ago with a 4m span 25kg Henschel 132. My efforts were not very successful at that time but things are better now. I hope to do some air-to-air filming of my 3m span 23 kg turboprop-powered Short's Seamew, from my scratchbuilt FPV camera ship (looks like a Twinstar only 2m span). Needless to say, your superb video of the BV 138 has inspired me. Congratulations.
