That didn't work.

Wow, and I thought my flying field was closed in. Some good flying right there!

 

[Dbell79]

Thank you Tony! That's flying mode 3, one handed. I wouldn't have been able to do that, with out the amazing support within my club. You really can do anything you set your mind to!

Yes you can. Necessity is the mother of all invention.

Nice flight, as Tony said not much room for error on that field.

How is your camera mounted? by the movement of the nose in the bottom of the picture it does not seem to be fixed, but it gives a great vibration free picture.

That was nice. I was wondering about the camera mount also. It looks like it is mounted on a gimbal. Sorry for my ignorance but how does one handed (mode 3) works? front/back is throttle, left/right aileron what about the tail?

It's mounted on the wing. Here's a pic,
That's a GoPro quick mount held in by Velcro and rubber bands.

I"m 99% sure that is a youtube corrected video. Look at the sun the first time he turns into it. The sun is moving as well. Just something that happens at the outer edges of the screen when you have youtube correct a shakey video. I do think this is one of the best corrected though, if in fact that is what it is.

 

[Tony]

He beat me to it lmao. Now, I'm 100% sure it's a youtube corrected video

Mode 3 is right stick = throttle and rudder left stick = ailerons and evelator

 

[jcfernan51]

okay, still using both sticks what confused me is that he said he was flying one handed

Great video and nice landing! Makes my flying fields seem overly forgiving.

 

[Tony]

Makes my landings look look like crashes lmao.

Thank you Tony. I'll post my favorite landing. Remember I've only been flying 3 months and using my left hand.

 

[Dbell79]

Aww jeez, I can't find it!
Oh well, at least I'm one post closer to the fifty!

 

[Tony]

It's all good bro. Most of my landings either bounce or overshoot. Here is a video of my Extra 260 onboard.

[Tony]

And here is what happens when I get a good landing... I miss this plane. Need to put it back up in the air!

Yes, I pressed the button that says, correct a shaky video. I didn't know I was doing something wrong. I'm sorry, I won't post any more videos.

 

[Tony]

Hey now, we love videos! They were thinking you were running a gimble and I was thinking you corrected the video in YouTube. Nothing against you bro, I assure you.

Hey Dbell, we were commenting on the quality of the video, not that there was anything wrong with it, keep the videos coming.
