Nice videos. I left my handycam in Philippines so no video from me. No weather nice till end Friday then windy for a week.
Doesnt seem to be much flying going on in Hobart. We are flying in Philippines even on 1st day rainy season yesterday. I will be back in Hobart 3rd July for a few weeks so hope we can have a fly then.
By a wide vote margin between today and tomorrow we flew today being Sunday. I think 9 turned up. Wind was very light but thermals were weak. A few bingles but without Kermit there not sure any were caught on camera. Here is my Round the Shearing Shed Footage:
10 at the field today and I got to meet James at the gate. 2 videos from me, first is from my Drifter flown FPV above the hill again:
And here are Kermits 2 flights with the first being very succesful:
No damage to my Esky Eyas from the gentle clip from behind and I cant even see a scratch. Here is brief FPV footage from the Eyas but no the clip.
And here is my trusty Drifter. its been 12 months since Ive flown FPV so was a bit rusty and didnt help being swamped on my 5.8ghz video from the rescue drone. But as its a known issuue I just flew close by. Today was a perfect weather day with weak but consistent thermals for the gliders.
My little jet will be an easy fix. The ESC connector disconnected after 8 min full throttle flight. I viewed the Kermit Mk 1 video. Who can explain the differences to the Mk 2 version so I dont have to sit and watch again! Seems Karl and Fab had bingles too, again minor i hope.
