i like how you dont just use your props for thrust but also for brakes. lol

[LEGOSandNFSW]

I see rubber bands! Thumbs up if you see them too. Oh and nimbus, rear first then slowly forward, for the landing. It was kinda rough landing but next time do it on pavement and do the landing instructions that's above. DON'T FORGET!, Practice! Practice! Practice!

Can u tell me how I mounted the go pro. Like where and what attachment. I would love to try this wit my apprentice.

Thanks

[nimbusncirrus]

@Justin110309 I used the plastic base that comes in the box with the GoPro (it's not an official mount, it's just the base my GoPro Motorsports was connected to). Then I slipped it under the rubber bands. Tip: you can add some electrical tape on top of the mount to prevent camera shake.

Great video, that go pro shoots really clear footage. What a great spot to fly as well

[keystoneprepper]

Great video... I am working on mounting a Flip onto my apprentice....hopefully soon. Again, great work!

[RCDarren]

@BestNThDez Congrats on the new airplane! It's a very fun and relaxing plane to fly. I wish you the best for your maiden flight.

very nice video...

[chivone21]

VERY NICE!! I'm picking my plane up tomorrow. Can you tell me what kind of video camera you are using for this? And what is a GoPro base that comes in the box. Of course, I haven't seen whats in the box yet. I'd like to do this too.

Also, how did you upload, and edit your movie? I noticed fade outs, like, it's being edited. VEry nice job! There should be more videos like yours.

Thanks very much for any info.

Paul

@chivone21 Hi, thank you Paul, and congratulations on your new plane! I'm sure you're going to love flying it.

The video camera is from a company called GoPro. The GoPro HD comes with several attachments, and in the video, I used the the plastic base that comes with the kit to attach to the plane.

I edited the movie with Adobe Premiere CS4, then encoded the movie to H.264, and lastly, uploaded to Youtube.

Happy flying!

[mke15]

that is high! awesome view of the lake there haha! nice easy flying mate!

do you stick the aerial out, or is it still tapped inside the body how it came in the box?

thanks.

[nimbusncirrus]

@mke15 Hi, thanks! The camera was attached to the GoPro base that comes in the box. Then I mounted the base under the rubber bands on the plane. Cheers!

[robcan57]

Awesome flying and awesome camera positioning, almost looked like I was flying it myself

[nimbusncirrus]

Hi, thank you!
