Very nice video! :clap:

[Happy Days]

What an invigorating video!
 
I love the shot of the plane circling, close to the ground,  around the pilot.
Makes me feel like gathering up all my models and striking out to the foothills of the Pyrenees, or Alps, or wherever that vid was filmed.
(Now, where did I leave my passport? :?: )

Hi Sean,

Looks like you had a good day.
Here it was not good weather for flying at all, so did 'other jobs'  

I've never known exactly where people fly on the Old Head, but pinned it down on Google earth from a few frame grabs from your video.

Looks like you had some mist though.
Lucky you weren't flying fpv 'cos you wouldn't have got down in one piece with the mist on the lens.

I must get the Easy Glider going again.
I keep pinching things out of it, like the receiver  :lol:
