As always, best when viewed on a big HDTV with a high speed internet connection.
A few observations:
1. It's easy to see why it's best to land the -8A like a taildragger. Even a greaser like the second landing induces a fair amount of gear oscillation.
2. The GoPro Hero3 has a ridiculously short battery life when you use the WiFi remote controller -- only 15 - 20 minutes. It is better to just let it run, and you'll get 1 hour plus.
3. I was surprised to not experience any adverse yaw from having the GoPro mounted on the wingtip. I've done video with it atop and on the bottom of the wing, and could not detect any impact on handling.
We've had to cancel our aerobatics lessons FOUR times now, due to weather -- but sooner or later I will post some cool aerobatics videos.
