Nice video Mike. It looks really authentic.
As promised for Mr Moose, here is the link to the Spitfire page and the link to the build video:
https://www.flitetest.com/articles/ft-spitfire-buildWow! It must be great to have so much time to do all that work Mike! 🙂
Might I suggest a diferent idea regarding the Dolly Trolley?
I was thinking, rather than folding down the catch posts, what about some sort of spring loaded ramp that leads up the to the top of the posts?
That way, when the plane lifts off the trolley, the ramps pop up to make a smoother incline to the top of the posts. If the elevator was to make contact with it, it would “ramp up” rather than hit the vertical posts and break. I’m sure there would be enough weight in the plane to hold the ramps down prior to lift off. A latching mechanism could also be employed to prevent the ramps from being pushed down.What do you think?
Congratulation Mr Kermit. Another excellent production. 🙂
Nice video Mr Moose. That almost deserves a GMA!
Congratulations Kermit for being the inaugural recipient of the perpetual GMA. Well deserved for your excellent video skills (no, I don’t want anything).
Corona virus tests came back negative so I’m looking forward to the next fly date that I can attend.
Happy New Year everyone!
Fantastic video Kermit. We have missed your videographer skills of recent. Thank you for dedicating your time to this.
Here’s looking for a great year of sailing next year 🙂
Nice videos Mike. I wonder if there is any “post processing” or inbuild video stabilisation to give such a stable video?
That’s a beauty Mike. I have heard of them and seen them before.
I should fly very well.
Love the colour scheme 🙂
Very entertaining viewing and well done to all the videographers.
This will be a difficult choice for the GMA.
I had a pretty good day and I have some footage from my on board Runcam camera from my C1 Chaser Wing and Ardupilot screen capture video.
The short clip shows me enabling autotune and flying pitch and roll maximums for the flight controller to set up the PID’s.
I then decended to an altitude of 6 metres and selected cruise mode which maintains the altiude while you fly around.
Also, thank you Kermit for the plane. This one looks interesting.
I’m looking forward to the next fly day that I can attend.
Thanks for the scoresheet Shorty and thanks to Predator for the upload. The PRO Stuart picked a great course for the challenging conditions and did a magnificent job at keeping an eye on the start line and calling out the contacts. Thanks Stuart.
Here is some hat cam footage of race 7 and race 8 which contains the second fountain incident and boat rescue.
