Rian had some footage on the sd card in the Mobula7 and is happy for you to see it. First off some indoor whoop racing. Ive never seen indoor stuff before and its really good:

 

 

Due Covid the indoor racing is on hold so looks like Rian also had fun at his work place:

Here is brief footage of my Esky Eagles at top of hill and around a tree. Too windy for a proper tree session. Coming soon are some clips from the Mobula7 HD whoop that I bought off Rian.

 

 

Here is my FPV maiden of the Mobula7:

My aerial footage. I also got the white boat taking out the blue buoy;

I think the morning consisted of abalone, scallops with a side of sausages.

Kermit paid me heaps to not upload any videos today so that he can finally win a Golden Moose, but Mike’s video looks pretty good.

[Hoppy]

No videos from me today to give Kermit a fighting chance for the award.

[Hoppy]

I’m a very deserving and humble winner.

[Hoppy]

Thanks Moose. My Eagles is all repaired and ready for more chase videos. Sorry about the battle scar on your Ranger.

Last video from me, this was the first flight of the day with my Drifter when the clouds were still low.

The Moose, no doubt grumpy that Mike and I have taken over the weather predicting, clipped my Eyas Eagles and took it out whilst his huge Ranger circled like a vulture. The footage here tells the truth:

Here is my Reptile S800 Sky Shadow wing. I clipped 2 bushes going too low:

A few near misses today though. I put my SD card in Rian’s new DJI v2 Goggles and so you can see what he was seeing through them when chasing our planes today. His drone is a GEPRC Cinelog 30 with DJI air unit.

 

[Hoppy]

Oh guess that means no video of the day for me…

[Hoppy]

I nominate Uncle G for video of the day especially as no music. No rain here on the eastern shore for those who didnt leave home.

Hardly any wind though when it did come in it was a weak sea breeze from behind us. I had two motor issues. My Parkjet shedded 4 of its 5 ducted fan blades but still flew a half circuit noisily with one blade left. And my Tigermoth on its last battery for the day threw the prop in the air so will finally get a quieter motor and prop next time. And Andrew threw a prop from his repaired glider. My big biplane had the oldest servo driving the elevator which was a bad idea as it died after a minute or so into the second flight. I managed to land using throttle to change pitch.

Kermit and Gerald had a date together so only Mike was left to do some brief video footage today but still had to bribe Moose to win the Best Video of the Day. I have 2 air videos. Here is from my Drifter including going around trees and passing through a small gap with a fence the other side near the end:

 

 

And AXN footage here:

It was a perfect breeze for sailing today. I have 2 qs

1. What is the link so I can get a sail number?

2. I need a new rubber band for my df65 winch system. Is hobbywarehouse the only source?
