Fog Dart Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Took a few vids that i thought some of you guys might like to see. Ali Machinchy - A10 Warthog Ali Machinchy - Half scale Cub Not the best edf hand-launch! o Ali Machinchy - Thrust Vectoring Gas Turbine Various clips Edited By Fog Dart on 29/06/2009 23:06:28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Nice vids - taken late on Sunday afternoon? I would say that good though they are, they don't totally capture the precision and spectacle of the displays. You had to be there to appreciate the flying. I was disappointed when the Me163 failed to get away (actually, it was prop driven, not EDF) but it was flown 15 minutes later and it certainly didn't disgrace itself once it got going - ballistic or what?

Fog Dart Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 It went like the clappers! Vids were taken throughout the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Privett Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I hope Fog Dart doesn't mind me adding my videos to "his" thread, but it seemed more sensible than starting another "W&W videos" thread... Initial thought was to do a 10-minute edit as I did for Blackbushe. It quickly became clear that I'd need to make it a 2-part video. And subsequently a 3-part one!

Fog Dart Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 John i dont mind at all - great quality, what camcorder are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hi FD, Thanks! It's a Sony DCR-TRV20E. Quite old now (I think I got it in 2001), but a fairly expensive one in its day. 10x zoom and a fairly effective image stabilisation system are useful - though even with the image stabilisation, tracking fast moving models across the sky often remains something of a challenge! Those pylon racers at W&W more than proving my point... I edit using Pinnacle Studio Plus - currently using version 10, I haven't bothered upgrading from 10 as I don't think there's much difference in the later versions apart from HD which my camcorder doesn't do. These videos were produced as avi files, each about 500M in size which I uploaded to youtube. Youtube's conversion seems to have preserved much of the original resolution. Unless I start going back through old tapes of previous years' shows the next one I do will probably be the Hop Farm show. You going to that?

Fog Dart Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hmmm maybe i should start trying avi then rather than wma. Hop farm - hoping to go, depends on work and wedge more than anything as its right after my holiday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Ireland Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Fantastic vid of the Cub... now where's my chequebook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fog Dart Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 I was blown away by Ali with his cub. When i saw it taxi onto the runway i thought ' hmm looks a bit tumbleweed' I was very wrong indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
