This is what I get for trying to show off for the camera!



Hopefully I'll get the other video files later this week - I did some fly-by stuff and a very good takeoff.

Glad you got her down okay. Does slipping sideways on the runway make you nervous? Kind of gave me the willies. That's usually how I am all the time in ROF and I roll over most of the time. dizzy I know what you mean though, that stuff doesn't happen when no one's around. Its like an audience and a camera brings out the gremlins. I watched another of your videos. That little plane looks like a lot of fun and it must be so satisfying that you built it!

Naw, it doesn't bother me - I made sure that my seat cushion is of a loosely woven fabric so that any puckering in my part during skids keep it from adhering due to suction.

There are a few videos where everything is totally boring and I put her down without fuss, but I don't make movies of them. Boring!

I was having fun with the CloudAhoy app and program, looking at the data to give me ideas on how to dial in the landings (now that I finally figured out takeoffs), and made a little "instructional" video about bouncing:
