Great video Jon, I keep forgetting to take a video camera with me when I go for a fly.
Thanks for posting. :)

tight turn
 

When I saw the post on the VAF home page I thought... "ahh look there is Jon turning base"

As yet Jon you take the cake for the most aggressive circuit maneuvering I have experienced. Made me become a little more ballsy when I do it now.

The freedoms of a country field :-)

cool
 

I was expecting to see XRC at the end of rollout but you hit the stop button about 5 seconds too early!
Awesome video. Great place to fly down there.
cheers

Take a video along so i can get an isight into your product?! Looking forward to seeing the results of all your hard work - hope Phase 1 is going OK?


Gus

Careful - someone might actually believe that flight really was conducted in some form of disorganised circuit.....dont want our friends in the US of A thinking I am a loose goose. Let's just say that circuits at my home field are always a little bit tighter.......;)

I hadnt noticed VH-XRC at that stage unfortunately....I did a u-turn off 18 onto the taxiway and headed straight up to a waiting hangar at the North end (thanks to Anatol and Brian Hawk). I didnt notice XRC until I walked back to the airport office. Shame.....if I had noticed XRC i would have definitely beat up the strip just to get a shot of your baby passing my wing at speed! Look forward to seeing you in Ceduna in a couple of weeks.....maybe i can get some footage of XRC off my wing with those perfect cliffs in the background on the way to Perth?!

PS I had to stop myself pinching XRC's bungs and control locks - she is well looked after... :)

Cheers

Camera is a GoProHD. I use the standard mount and have drilled it out to recieve one of the wingtip screws. Simple and effective.

There is another video on YouTube (search VH-JWC) which is shot from the wingtip on an overcast day. The picture is much clearer on a sunny day and the latest video is shot on a higher frame per second rate (60fps).

I used my Mac to edit the video and add the music - pretty simple.

Cheers,

Jon.

Ceduna
 

Not dropping into Parafield for a refuel along the way, by any chance?

Definitely a possibility - we havent locked down a plan as yet. I'll be travelling in company with Ken Brown in his RV-8 (VH-NEK) and heading over to Perth for the Langley Park Fly-in. Probably leaving Vic Tuesday 11th October....

Will have to report back....

Chz Jon.

Bucket list
 

Sounds like a good trip.

I crossed the Nullabor in the opposite direction in January to ferry SOL to its new home. One of those bucket list items, I think.

Forrest is definitely an experience :)

kind words Jon
 

Bungs and gust locks mandatory!

She very rarely spends the night outdoors. But I sleep a lot better now than i used to when taking her away on trips.

At least the dew makes cleaning the bugs off easier ;)

We are all set to leave Sydney on the 11th as well, so hope to see you in Ceduna (we have booked the East-West motel). Otherwise somewhere else on route, and worst case Perth!

Seems like everything is still on schedule.

Cheers!
