Pete B Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 This one, Tony? It was just a still taken from a Mobius vid whilst the Decathlon was inverted flying towards the sunset. Once you move away from the horizontal plane, the Mobius lens shows a lot of curvature. This is it with the horizon in the correct place. I think the other version looks quite convincing, eh?

Tony Read 2 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 It sure does! I was beginning to think you were the first person to send a RC model into space! A bit like the Starwars X wing fighter toy a few days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Read 2 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Looks like it has already been done here. Sorry to go off topic, but does this break any law? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Depends where you are, I suppose. I don't know about CAA rules but peeps seem to launch balloons with Sootie attached etc without being prosecuted. I suspect the VTX link would be way over what is allowable in the UK to get that sort of range. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn K Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 In the UK, I understand that you do need CAA permission to launch a weather balloon or other high altitude unmanned vehicle. I believe there are only certain areas that they can be launched from, for example the west coast of Wales and other isolated areas away from regular flight paths.

Hogster Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 My Sons bought me a DSLR for Xmas and now that the Sun, albeit occassionaly, has been making appearances I have been trying to get to grip with all the bells and whistles. This shot I am particularly pleased with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Davis Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 My Flair Hooligan. It had hit the top of one of the trees in the background but the engine, an Irvine 46 kept going and I managed to steer it back to a safe landing trailing the foliage you see in my hand from its undercarriage! My clubmates were most amused. Wish I hadn't sold the model now. . Edited By David Davis on 15/06/2016 05:13:24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 This one was taken in Bali but unfortunately not by myself. I like it a lot as - in my opinion - it represents the very appropriate basic meaning of First Person View... Note the ship's nose shadow on the eagle's right wing.

ChrisB Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 That is superb. We're often joined by Buzzards when we fly our gliders. They seem to enjoy thermaling with us and are certainly not put off by models of any kind. Humans are just playing at it but they can do it properly!

Simon Chaddock Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Are rather low quality picture - a still from a low res video! - but it does look something like the original doing a typical 'air show' pass. All Depron, 36" span and with four 40 mm EDFs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron evans Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Some great looking shots on thread, although it's strange that I find the less sharp ones more realistic, particularly the ones of older types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
