It was a sunny 16 degrees with only a moderate breeze & no rain. There was only a small group of 3 today. Kermit, Gerald & me but we had a whale of a time (well except Kermit).
The poor little frog managed to disable all 3 of his planes today so then had to resort to chasing us with his video camera, he did however provide a sumptuous BBQ lunch for us so all is forgiven.
Gerald was maidening his fully 3D printed Piper Cub that he recently built & as you will (hopefully) see in the video it flew magnificently and even managed a perfect landing on 3D printed undercarriage, wheels & even tyres. Well done Gerald.
I had another go at piloting my V22 Osprey VTOL plane & today I made sure there were no landings with the wind !!.
Also maidened my Hyperbipe which flew very well but I need to dial back the control throws a bit just to make it a bit less twitchy, well at least till I master flying it 3D mode.
Several videos will be up eventually as all 3 of us had the handicams out & about today.
With this third video I think I have finally found how to get rid of the annoying wind noise in the camera microphone. It’s still not perfect but far better than what we were getting even with the shotgun mic’s & deadcat windsocks

Trying a new GMA voting program this week. No idea if it will work or not but the timer to the start of voting at 10:00pm Local time is now counting down and voting should be live for 48 hours from 10:00pm tonight.
It doesn’t need linking to the actual videos so if you are late posting (as I will be) it just means less time for your vid to collect votes. We will see how it works.
Looks like Kermit is running late as well & he can’t blame 4K processing for his delay, probably busy repairing today’s carnage.
I have included Hoppy as he generally puts up something as our Foreign Correspondent.

I had three computer crashes so the vid goes to the last saved vid section an if as I do …you forget to save em ha back to the last one .. oh hum .. Now it is true I did in fact have multiple interesting landings …. it was all done for top gun flight school video section for how to handle landings before you want to land so all the landings you see that weren’t landings in the true sense of the word they were and are for historical archival purposes as for repair of said aircraft no more than half hour had them all ready for further flights for student leaning STOP PRESS all voters who vote for MY video will get a free flight to Indonesia SUBIC BAY free accommodation lovely beach to swim or perve sailing on a catamaran and free drone lessons just for your vote so what are you waiting for VOTE.. ONLY THREE

The yellow Cub was great but I could not see if it had wing struts? its not a cub without the struts. I like Kermits soft focus video but where are the Ooops shots? They are the only part I usually watch. But I did like the frog chorus sound track so my vote could be swayed.

NOW THAT HURTS MR HOPPY I sit here on me widdle seat elbows on the table hours on end looking into the computer screen editing the video for your enjoyment hoping that its good enough for your vote only to learn your only interested in the ooooops moments that’s sad boy even the sinker looks at my videos not that that’s any recommendation but still …..oh well next we fly I’ll be back to form with the oops moments ……… happy now

Great videos gang.
Gerald, I love the 3D printed Piper Cub and wish I was there to see it fly.
The closest I’ve been to planes on this trip is one we saw at West Wylong:
And here is a video of a plane (of sorts):

Only 2 1/2 hours left for the GMA voting this week & I just discovered it is currently a draw between Uncle G & Kermit so I guess one or both of you need to chase up a couple more votes.
Makes a difference when you can only vote once eh ?
Changing devices or IP addresses to squeeze in an extra vote or two wont work any more with this new system.
-
The results are in and for the first time in he history of the GMA’s we have a tie.
Congratulations to Kermit & Uncle G.

Well you shouldn’t feel too bad with 50%.
After spending hundreds of hours working out how to drive the new video editor & countless time removing all the wind noise from the footage, what did I get?
Zilch, didn’t even get my vote cos I gave mine to you Mr Frog, then found out I couldn’t vote twice with the new polling system so stop your belly-aching.

Well it was tough to decide between the videos and a historic draw is apt. Seeing as both winners are BFF, in line of sight, flying range of each other and with their own private airstrips maybe you can have the award for 2 days then fly it over and drop it on the other airstrip and repeat back every couple of days.

THANK THE GODS for hoppy I recon that’s a fantastic idea fly over an drop it on his house …….Im going to look for a brick right now
