Andy G. Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Hi Paul, nice to see some footage from the south side of the island, especially the old abandoned holiday camp. I fly from the north east coast, Culver, keep meaning to look elsewhere for good sites, especially for filming from. Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dyer Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Great film but the Radian seems to have succumbed to the Danny Rivet Syndrome. Otherwise, is this a new form of psoriasis ??????????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vic evans 1 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Nice vid. but the 'plane gets in the way I've tried all ways to keep the 'plane out of shot & find a forward facing camera mounted under the body by the UC or cockpit mounted camera on a pusher the best. How do you folk manage it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Andy, ...'went up Culver a few times over the summer but I have yet to fly from there. The Pepperpot / St Catherines Down is a nice landscape and I shot some film up there but have yet to edit and upload it. A budget FPV set up for my glider is on the way so hopefully that will encourage a bit more low level flying and dramatic footage when I get it set up. I think we are lucky here with the choice of landscape in a fairly condensed area, ...Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, is this a new form of psoriasis ??????????????? Thanks ...I wasn't quite sure what 'Danny Rivet Syndrome' meant and I had to look up 'psoriasis'..!! but I get your point now! - That bird has taken a lot of abuse in the 3 years I've had it and sure enough it is covered liberally with reinforced packing tape, Gorilla glue and a couple of BBQ skewers running under the canopy; The canopy doesn't sit square because the fuse is about 1" shorter than when I first had it due to a number of dose dives in the early days, an elastic band keeps it in place and a couple of popsicle sticks are used as splints in the broken tail. .....but she still flies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Cyberlink Power Director 10 because that runs ok on my old PC, but I'm sure it could equally easily have been edited on the standard 'Windows Movie Maker' software or Go Pro Studio. The Gopro is an awesome piece of kit for sure but I had a few trial flights over empty fields before plucking up the nerve to chuck £400- of kit off the cliff edge and over the sea..!!

How do you folk manage it? Hi Vic, ...I think I have to disagree. Let's face it for pure controlled, uninterupted and stable aerial filming you can't beat the quadcopters. So with a glider why not have it in shot and enjoy the grace of fixed wing flight.? Edited By Paul Knights on 15/09/2015 22:38:39 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chaddock Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Nice video I am impressed with your 'cliff top' landing. Not much room for error! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
