Off Topic: Movies of Trikes flying in Mountains

[RudiGreyling]

Hi Guys,

I had a fly out to the Central Drakensberg in South Africa with my Micro -Light aircraft last week. I know it is not strictly RV related, but it is flying related, and I have a couple of friends on this forum. This area is one of the most scenic areas in South Africa.

It was the best and worst flying of my career so far. It had awesome scenery, but lots weather to content with this time of year. My trusty Aerotrike Scout with a rotax 503 did the trip flawlessly without skipping a beat, but a little more power would have helped.

Any case, I used Window Movie Maker last night for the first time and put together these 4 part sequences of the trip. All the footage is taken from the trike.

Turn the sound way up when you watch these: (If you can only download one due to bandwidth constraints download part 4). Right click and 'safe as' onto your hard drive, instead of streaming the videos

Part 1: The arrival at the airfield, with the tricky field landing [4.3 mb]

If these movies don?t get you want to fly, nothing will.

Kind Regards
