what camera did you use for this? this is beautiful!

@punchtahurricane I used a Kodak Zx1 camera.

@rockyjvec next time dont put music in your videos.....i prefer to hear the natural sounds of the plane gliding

no offence

at 1:56 theres a bird soaring.

i love it when you start sharing the airspace with birds of prey.

wow what a place to live i'v never seen any one fly a cub that high ever but at least hobbyzone are correct that you can fly upto 2500ft away i really did't think you would be able to see the plane at that hight never mind control it in a smooth manner

brilliant and thanks for sharing Dave uk

Wow amazing! We can see from 4:52 the terrain elevation like on Google Earth... Good idea to put a real camera instead of that low-definition crap normally used. Great job!

[Erykex]

what plane it is and how much was it?

[rockyjvec]

@Erykex The plane is a HobbyZone SuperCub RTF Electric.  It cost about $160.

How high was this?

[rockyjvec]

At 7:35 in this video the closer hills (according to google earth) are about 2000ft high and in the video you can easily see way beyond them. I tried to position the camera in google earth to the same location as in the video and it said the eye altitude was 3899 ft. The location I took off from is at about 650 ft. so that puts my airplane at about 3249 ft. above the ground. The airplane also climbed for another 1:30 after that point.
