Dave Andrew (GG) Warwick, daughter Chloe and myself went for a short slope soaring session this afternoon. It was cold but wind was perfect SE direction and reached 20 kts later on. One or two mid air collisions and plenty of close calls. First off here is footage of a keychain cam on my Albatross Reject Shop $20 chuck glider modified for RC.

Good to see that Kermit has taught you the basics of “Soft Focus” Hoppy. (Try zooming in a bit more)
I also noticed that you are posting your video at 30fps, should be 25 or 50fps the same as the camera. That’s why it a bit jittery.
Also good to see GG was allowed out for his last day of freedom for a while. Happy birthday tomorrow GG
