Here's one flight I didn't bother editing since it was too windy and turbulent. Now that I have no chance to do a new movie, I've decided to cut it together. Enjoy

The last flight
3 months ago 251 9
I put together a movie of the flight before the crash ... basically I landed, did some repairs and then tried to do a stunt and crashed. The recorder crapped out while I was doing the repairs and I didn't check it on launch :( The damage was minor, but I lost some EPP parts from the Swift. It will fly […]

The shots for this movie were taken in a time-period of 5 months with one plane and video setup. All up cost of the equipment (including the aircraft) is around $800 without the remote control.

Natural Beauty

I launched totally stressed from work and landed a different person. This was a 45 minutes flight filled with impressive mountains, fluffy clouds, zero wind and a gorgeous sunset. Too bad the motor battery died just before I was on a perfect approach for the peak cross with the sunset in the background. […]

Video System Range Test
4 months ago 413 5
just a small test of video range ... and having some fun while doing the test ;) Range in this video is well beyond 5km. R/C without a single glitch and NOT using any grey/illegal Long Range System! FPV ... well, I'll need a bigger patch antenna on the ground (already on the way :D )

Hoher Riffler (first try)

Treeing it
4 months ago 313 7
tried to run a short peak round ... but it was too windy. after landing I noticed I didn't have the rx antenna fully rolled out ... so I guess I was lucky ... REALLY lucky (it's snowing up there now) anyways ... overall boring flight ... I just wanted to test my piloting skills a bit ;)

What are Vimeo Albums?

Albums make it easy to organize a collection of videos. They can be used to display videos together, or sent to friends as a playlist. You can even arrange the order of videos in each album.

You can add a video to one of your albums or create a new album from the "Add" tab on video pages.

Albums can also be used to show videos on other web sites using Vimeo Widgets.
