I didn't see anything wrong with the video. Like Paul said, I figured it'd be a great way to kick start the 4th thread!

Well,

Here goes the very first recordng from my EasyGlider Electric. It was a little breezy today but managable. The weather is supposed to be terrible for the next few days so this was my only chance. Not much to look at but maybe others can give me some hints. Flight took place in town, at the local elemenary school. Patch was set up at 35-45 degrees 3 feet off the ground. Reception was fair until I entered a 10 o'clock or 2 o'clock possition in front of the patch. Furthest distance just under 1/2 mile and 250' altitude. I really need to get used to flying gliders again, as I am over controlling.

The video is nothing special as it is raw and unedited. Perhaps others can see it and know what to expect first time out? Test still to be performed to find best results.

Looks great to me. I can't help you with the antenna, as I don't use a patch, but other than that, it's looking good. I'd call that a successful flight.

I'm sure you've talked about this before in another thread, but what camera and video transmitter are you using?

Yeah! I'm back in the air after rebuilding from a crash and the newly rebuilt panning for my HD camera is working well. The plane is heavy and flies fast now but it flies well so I'm happy. I'm off next week so if the weather cooperates I'll try to drive to somewhere scenic to capture some footage.

Don't watch it here! Click the link in the title bar! HD awaits!
