Lee Morgan Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Na I was thinking vid thread for gliders , power just doesn't do it for me at all Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 We are a broad church here, Lee - I'm sure the power flyers will be open-minded enough to enjoy your vids! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Morgan Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Don't get me wrong Pete , I have nothing against power flyers , And can totally see why they do it , If I am honest I can't afford to have more than one type/discipline of models in my hanger . So I try and steer clear of power on that basis . Just thought a vid thread in the glider section would be nice Lee ( no offence meant to any one ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 As a devout Petrol head in RC. I thoroughly enjoy these types of video. These pilots have a unique skill set. Very well worth watching. Just adds to my appreciation of the diversity capable within this great hobby.BB .... Thanks (Well worth a bump eh Timbo ?)Edited By Basildon Biggles on 26/07/2011 18:59:06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conwy Soarer Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Vimeo seems to be quite popular for video hosting, I for one have been using it for quite a while. Some of you may already now and are members of the RC Slope Soaring group (I am already) So here is the link: RC Slope Soaring Vimeo Group There are some cracking videos on there take a look!

Ian Jones Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I walked up catbells earlier this year and with my pins that's quite an acheivement even so I'm sure that I could have managed the bruden of a Tx and Wildthing or similar had been introduced to the fine art of sloping at that time .Being a newcomer though I wonder about permisssion to fly in such places. For example there I am on holiday in the [some unfamiliar hilly place] and there's a lovely slope begging for me to go and have a go at it. No houses or farms nearby that seems to suggest ownership of the land... erm, well I don't know, hence my question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Houghton 1 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Ok, firstly how do you embed a vimeo vid on here Secondly, unless you pay for it, Vimeo only allows you uploads of 500mb per month. Most of my vids are bigger than that. My most recent video of Big Phil sloping for the first time came out at nearly 700mb, and that was reducing it from 1080p to 720p. Guess I'd have to reduce the quality further eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the guys I fly with tried flying at a mountain near Caerphilly, but this guy came up to him saying he couldn't fly there as he owned the mountain. My mate works for the local council and told the guy he would check this out and get back to him. He did check and it turned out the guy owned the rights to the bridal ways only and it transpired this guy was concerned that the gliders would scare his horses.

No houses or farms nearby that seems to suggest ownership of the land... erm, well I don't know, hence my question If I see a flyable slope, I'll generally have a go - so long as I don't have to be obviously trespassing. Anyway, to be guilty of trespassing, they must prove that you have caused damage. Walking across a grassy field can hardly be classed as damage.Just use a bit of common sense. Most of the time you will only be there for a short while anyway. If anyone complains, just be civil and make an apologetic retreat. Oh! And don't wear bright clothing!! I always wear 'country colours' and try to blend in a bit. Saying that, I've flown at literally hundreds of different places - just to try them out - and not once have I ever had anyone complain. Anyone who has turned up is usually fascinated by a flying RC sloper and wants to know more. You can fly off National Trust sites ( unless there is a specific reason for them to limit flying) as there is an agreement between the NT and the BMFA.

Tim Mackey Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 But NT agreement is very clear on NO POWER models whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
