GrahamC Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 The sun came out this morning and it wasn't too windy, which was a nice suprise! So off to the strip I went with "Splinter" First a few photographs.... And with a potential donor! I flew her with a standard 2200 mah 3 cell battery which was better CofG wise than the maiden flight with an 1800mah but I decided to add just 5 g to the tail. Not far out then! Being happy with the CofG I decided to hand her over to a club mate so that I could get some video. Brian was at the field, so I asked him to fly 'Splinter.' As you will see, Brian didn't need to be asked twice....! I did my best to track the flight, but apologies for the times when I lost him! The filming gets better as the flight progresses!

WolstonFlyer Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 The trick apparently is put the camera onto a tripod but rather than standing it on the floor, hold the tripod like you are using a rifle/shotgun and follow the plane but without looking at the LCD/ viewfinder on the camera. It is a very nice plane- could you release it as a plan?Edited By WolstonFlyer on 01/10/2012 15:21:00Edited By WolstonFlyer on 01/10/2012 15:21:34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
