This is a video that we shot earlier in the year. It was posted in the sailplanes forum earlier, but I don't think we put it up here yet.

The video is of a 5m Lunak electrified glider, and shows footage taken from various angles on the plane, and also from the ground (interesting to follow this bird with a camera from the ground I can tell you!).

Airborne video was taken using a 600mW BWAV 'Brown Bag' kit, with the camera velcroed to the wing (amazing that it stayed there really).

Two links are available, high and medium resolution:

We also had a GPS on the plane, and fed the position/speed, etc. down the audio channel of the link. I'll dig out some of the data from it and post it here later.

Nice flying AnthonyRC. Great video too.

BTW, is that a horse racing field you fly from?

I can't take the credit for the flying, just the videoing, Didier was the pilot, and man can he fly that bird! (he also put together this fantastic video)

oh, yes, it was a horse racing field, which unfortunately is now being modified to add a bloody golf course in the middle and is no longer available to us flyers.
The video was taken on the last day, as a kind of memorial :-(

...a bloody money maker you mean..

Gliders make great video platforms. The long wings make for a smooth roll axis that makes for good video. Here is another rear-facing glider shot, but a pure glider on a winch tow. See if you can spot the parachute heading home at the end of the launch.

Anthony, please give me a link where I could buy one of those types of gliders you have.

Thanks.

Not easy to buy one... all is explained here: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=389822

AnthonyRC, holy crap! That plane is HUGE!!! It looks a lot smaller on the video. Nice plane. 12 servos?!?!?! WOW!
