Hard crash with the Spirit

Thursday, December 29th, 2005

Here is some first person video of a very hard crash landing of the spirit. This was a sort of botched landing. I was aiming for the bushes but ended going straight into the cliff face. The landing part is actually at the end so if you cant wait for it then fast forward to the ending.

Onboard the Spirit

I finally got up the nerve tape my digital camera to my largest RC plane and get some classic ‘onboard’ footage, mainly as a continuation from onboard the nitri V and villain ex. In the first video the camera is taped to the bottom of the wing next to the fuselage and is pointing straight down. The next shot the camera is taped to the top of the wing facing forward. The second configuration caused some flight instability to I landed pretty soon after launch.

Skate and Planes oh my.

Ayla gets some video of those funky dunky rollerskate dancers on venice beach.
