Default 1st Flight Vid

Finally got round to playing with iMovie and this is a first attempt so be gentle. A bit of editing to keep it in context.

We now have 6 inches of snow and sub zero temps so testing is postponed.....

Go-Pro HD with standard suction mount 720p, 170 wide, with upside down mode switched on.

Yep, it was the first flight - I just got carried away with all the excitement and had to test the ailerons..........

The camera is excellent - I am hoping that the expansion slot will enable us to link into audio soon, but the normal sound is quite good. I overlaid some music afterwards and it blends quite well.

Here is some more using the same camera - a friend shot it not me !!!

Wonderful video Mike. You seem so casual and relaxed, obviously enjoying yourself. You're welcome to come and fly RV's in South Africa anytime.
