Well almost Moose, we had a roaring, hot Northerly come through on Saturday night (well early Sunday morning actually) from just after midnight till around 3:00am, luckily no damage to the tent though, and it started to rain just as we left on Monday morning. Other than that all good.

[Predator]

Yes Tug, for the first trip in a long time it was dry when we got there & still dry when we left (but only just as the rain started a few hundred metres down the track).

[Predator]

Well, what can I say !!

The poor little Eyas does look a bit worse for wear doesn’t it, but I’m sure a bit of Hot Glue will have it airborne again soon to give the resident eagle a bit more fun.

Yes Ron, the cows came a visiting almost as soon as we got there, they eventually wandered off but returned at lunch time, no doubt could smell the cooking.

[Predator]

Could well be Mr Frog, could well be.!!

Thanks Uncle G, another fine production.

[Predator]

Is that still the same old AXN you used to fly @ Elderslie?, it just looks a lot less beat up than I remember. Certainly flies nice with the clipped wings.

[Predator]

Thanks Ian, another Fun Day by all, except perhaps the Bad Angel who did have a bit of bad luck with his Eyas

[Predator]

Thanks Ricky, always hard to come up with something different, not too bad for first attempt at a “Ghost Cam”.

Off to the West Coast for a few days camping on Friday and in the interest of something different I’ve enabled “Sport Mode” (65kph +) on the Mavic Pro Platinum.

For something different I’ll try a couple of Hi Speed runs up & down the Henty River. Should be interesting. Perhaps a Hi Speed run along the West Coast surf break as well.

The mount is 5mm CF tube with a 3D printed plate for the camera (velcro camera attachment) and another 3D printed plate to hold it all square on the wing

[Predator]

Another quality Toadhall production there Mr Frog. Nice high tide for a change as well.

[Predator]

You’re not wrong BA, it was a tad windy right from the start but not too bad once you were airborne

[Predator]

The first 2 are videos from onboard the scale MDM-1 Fox glider

this is around the field today featuring “Kamp Kermit”

[Predator]

I reckon your lens needs adjusting Chris, focus seems way off both at close range (which is often an issue) and also at long distance (which shouldn’t be an issue. I think Uncle G had to fiddle with the lens in his 4K camera as well to get it right.

Wind or not it was another great day to be alive & flying in Southern Tas.

It was my Li’l Eagle, not Hoppy’s and he wasn’t trying to bring it down, just a close encounter of the second kind
