Nothing at all shabby about that footage from your new Mavic Mini 3 Pro Uncle G, it does a fantastic job.
It was a fine day for our last fly-in before Christmas even if the attendance numbers were down on usual.
Kermit, Uncle G , Gadget & Predator attended however Uncle G had to be contented with flying his new Mavic Mini 3 Pro quadcopter as he left his RC unit for the planes at home (well that was his excuse anyway)
Kermit had several uneventful flights with his Ranger 1600 but unfortunately the same could not be said for his Bix 3. It went home looking a tad worse for wear.
I don’t think Gadget had any issues with his planes and apart from a broken wheel on my Slow Poke, I had no other problems flying both the Li’l Eagle biplane & the AR Wing.
Some video cover from today

A bit from Around the field today
Another fine day of sailing @ the Duck. It is a real shame you couldn’t make it today Admiral but thanks for organising it anyway.
The BBQ went off a treat as well & was enjoyed y all that attended.
As can be seen in the video, just to even things up a bit, the “Big” boats (Kermit’s A-class “Blak Pekka” and my pretend IOM “Imposter”) sailed the full course around all buoys 1,2,3,4,5,6, finish x 2 while the DF65/RG65 fleet sailed a much shortened course 1, 3, 5, finish x 2.
Eventually I should have 3 videos from today, just taking a little while to edit & upload the 4K footage.
Race 2 is edited fixed point footage from the onboard Insta 360 camera.
Race 3 is unedited 360 degree footage so you can move the camera view through full 360 degrees while you watch.
Thanks Kermit, don’t make a special trip, we can try to find them next flying day.
I have a spare SD card here that you can set the detector up to find.
I suspect they will be within a metre of the impact site as the original impact would have ejected them far more likely than the flying cameras landing in the grass.
It’s looking like an expensive Fly-In for me today, The Excalibur is trashed, inc the battery & all the electrics, both the onboard cameras are also no longer working and will most likely need replacing & I’ve lost two Class 10 64Gb SD cards to boot.
Oh well as the say s#@t happens eh !!
GMA (Golden Moose Awards) voting will start at midnight tonight to allow for late entries & will run for 24 hours only.
Looks like the Frog has done it again, set a new standard for all to attain to in the Silent Movie industry!!
Well done yet again Kermit.G’day Ron, happy for you to borrow my GoPro Hero9 to have a play with before you spend your hard earned money.
These days it’s a toss up whether you go for a “Go Pro” style action cam or a 360 degree camera (eg: Insta360 V2) as the latest of either have good stabilisation and horizon levelling, and have 4K or better recording as well as 1080P.
Also, not sure what video editor you use but I have recently changed to VideoProc Vlogger.
It is a fully functional Free program that is easy to use and also comes with a great audio editor built in. A couple of quick tweaks of the equaliser will make all that wind noise disappear without affecting the rest of the audio track.
Thanks for the report Admiral, very informative.
Certainly was a great day to be sailing @ the Duck.Well then, even without sound it at least has content. Gets my vote.
Looks like a fun day was had by all. The beautifully manicured runway was a bit of a waisted effort though as no one managed to stay on it, taking off or landing. Easier to just use the road.
I see out illustrious President Ian was a No Show again. Becoming a bit of a habit methinks.
Kermit, check your video edit settings, they should be (MP4 1920 x 1080 @ 25fps) for normal HD video
