I youre case you need to look on the internet for some Video compressor software. I am sure that you will find many freeware on Google. I use "Tempeg" but unfortunatly it is not free.
You can try this link

yeah, its RIDICULOUS! along Boyes Drive there is a little spot where you pull off and walk up along a footpath for about 1.5kms. from there, you can either fly from the path, or you can hike up the side of the slope (thats where i stood) and fly from there. the top rounds off, so you can glide the plane in for landing below the lift zone. very convenient, as its pretty hard to slow down and bring these damn things to a stop!

Hi guys
For all the people who need a movie maker, you can download windows live for windows 7 it also includes a movie maker as well. Its free. Just unselect all the spam thats included with the install, windows messenger, picture viewer, live mail etc.

I am with Blackrat that’s fantastic lift! It looks like you had the sky for your self. Are there many other guys flying there? Imagine a whole squadron of Mig’s tearing up the sky.
Your Mig fly’s and looks great. Well done.
How about some flying stills for our Mig Blog? http://correxmig.blogspot.com/
Again, well done Brian.

brian , send us co-ords of where you are flying please , wanna have a gawk

went yesterday again... totally forgot to check the co-ords. was teaching my younger brother to fly my old bee. try google earth, the spot is between the colourful beach huts at St. James, and Kalk Bay harbour. ill try point it out on a google map. we walk along a path called the "Ou Kraal" trail.

heres another video of my mig. filming is a bit better, too. check it out!

Mig 7 slope soaring day 2 (3 min 36 sec)

Brian, that is awsome.
I would give my left nut to fly in lift like that, but wouldn't give you a penny for them rocks behind you.
The speed she picks up in dive means you must have ballast on board. What does she weigh?
The Mig looks great and you are also a damn good jockey.

You definitely need some flying buddies to do some come combat Nice video, landing needs some work

haha yes! landing needs some practice... its a treacherous area! as for the weight, it doesnt have any ballast, but i have a feeling shes running slightly nose heavy even though i balanced it perfectly along the CG. roughly weighs somewhere between 900g and a kg.
