Well Mitch picked a superb flying day on Tuesday. It started off a bit of wind but it dropped out and no turbulence. Mitch, BA, Gerald, Scottie and myself were present. I FPV’d my Drifter and Eagles for first time in ages. Getting range issues on the Eagles with the Hawkeye Split 4k camera setup which I need to resolve. I flew the lemon colored tigermoth and Le PeTit biplanes with a keychain cam mounted upside down under top wing this time. Fortunately Movie Maker can switch the image 180 degrees around. Here is the LePetit:
And here is the brief FPV flight with the Eagles. I need to do some work on the FPV system and adjust cam position so you cant see the yellow battery, only her sexy arm and glove!
And here is my Drifter flown FPV with keychain cam:

Here you are Moose plain and simple.
P.S. I’m in possession of a Esky Eyas hatch cover which I found in Kermit’s friendly eagle’s nest.

Gerald stall and crash is there at 6 40 into his video. Another example of flight controllers not helping as they try and do the opposite if what you need to do to recover from a stall or spin.
It looks like BA has his mojo back with a good landing onto the runway.

I have to disagree Hoppy, when I realised I was in trouble I turned off the motor and just gave it up elevator. The flight controller did it’s job. You can see it almost levelled itself out. If I was a couple of meters higher it wouldn’t have hit the ground.

I agree with UNCLE G my former student did every thing right Height was the mitigating factor in this case I could go into the physics of the flight but most of you wouldn’t understand it WELL DONE ACE THERE WAS NO WALK OF SHAME just another beat up by BA to get a story SHAME SHAME

Now to address a false news statement by BA in his video stating 5 old farts THATS FIVE attended the fly in which is totally totally wrong UNCLE IS BARELY OUT OF DIAPERS an then there’s that wild kid from down the road SCOTTIE he for sure is still in em AN LETS NOT FORGET OUR OWN HOPPY WHO HAS JUST STARTED HIGH SCHOOL so more false news THE QUESTION NOW IS HOW RELIABLE IS THIS FILM MAKER , misinformation tall story’s crashes that didn’t happen the list goes on an on ……….JUST SAYIN

Yes Kermit I agree with you, He even lowered himself to stealing some of my video. If you look closely at his video and mine there is the same footage, anything to get a story?
As for my so called “crash” all it was is a bumpy landing, there was no damage to the plan or camera, not like Hoppy’s real crash landing where he bent the motor shaft and couldn’t fly that plane again. But that didn’t even get mentioned?
