GoPro Pitts Montage

[AlexRobertson15]

What is the roll rate of this pitts?

[slickhutto]

@AlexRobertson15 Way TOO slow! LOL. It's a little over 180 degrees/sec. When the new Raven wings are finished it will be upwards of 360.

[AlexRobertson15]

@slickhutto Hahah, yeah I've been thinking about possibly buying one in a year or so, but Yak 55's are fairly cheap and have a quite good roll rate, I was thinking about that also. What are the Raven wings?

[slickhutto]

@AlexRobertson15 Google Raven Aircraft and you should find the website for the wing kit. For some reason I can't post a link here.

[AlexRobertson15]

@slickhutto are you planning on getting that kit for your pitts?

[slickhutto]

@AlexRobertson15 I already have the kit. I've finished all of the ribs, and I'm starting work on the spars.

[AlexRobertson15]

@slickhutto That is going to be quite the airplane

[StickandRuddur]

Nice. I get that same stupid grin every time I do aerobatics. Great vid, keep posting bro!

[shanemmullen]

nice flying... great music

Dude... how old are you? I think I have shoes older than you! One heck of a pilot! I'm always impressed with young people with extraordinary talents. Keep posting videos my friend.

Finally i used the suction cup + tape in the wing tip in ny CAP 231 and flew succesfully even at 180 kts and pulling 8 g's

[HellaJDM]

Which mount did you use for the exterior shots?

[slickhutto]

@HellaJDM The exterior shots from the wing and tail were home-made mounts, while the rest used the 3M double sided tape mounts with zip-ties for support.

[edouardtahiti]

how did you mount the gopro on your plane?

[pilotohog]

The factory says they testest up to 200 mph but has recommended to also put tape for more safety, i will not tested.

By the way, beatiful Pitts, also seen the project video, congrats.

I will see the way to fix it to the sight device also.

[pilotohog]

Do you know of someone that has used the suction cup and has done aerobatics? I am waiting for my camera today or tomorrow and will try on my CAP 231 this weekend. I do not trust top much on the suction cup and 200 mph and 8 g's but if someone has done already.....

[slickhutto]

@pilotohog No I don't know anyone who has flown with the suction cup. I think it would be wise for you not to use it...

[wani0402]

@slickhutto Mike Wiskus (Lucas Oil) showed me his two Go Pros that he uses on his Pitts. He mounts 2 on his plane via suction cups for his in-flight recording and said he has never had a problem. He demonstrated the strength of the suction cup my mounting it to a table and picking up the entire table with the camera.

[pactocomogoogle]

what is the name of this song?

[cadude145]

music was so bad I had to stop watching

[TheSchoegglnator]

have you tried the suction cup mount with the gopro?

[slickhutto]

@TheSchoegglnator

Yes, but not on the Pitts. I don't think the suction cup would stay on throughout the flight.

[TheSchoegglnator]

@TheSchoegglnator how did u mount it then?

[flightsimace]

i couldnt help but notice your an aggie...im a shsu bearkat....what up

[FAFLSuedois]

thanks a lot...

[FAFLSuedois]

Can you tell me please, which soft do you use to make this nice video?

[slickhutto]

@FAFLSuedois I used Sony Vegas to edit the video.

[harveymacdonald]

niceeeeeeeeeeee

[flyingjoed]

Who cares about the cameras...love the plane and aerobatics!!!!

[cpuk7]

how did u mount these gopros... i would like to put mine on an extra300

[slickhutto]

We used the supplied 3M tape mounts in the cockpit and made our own mounts for external use.

[nismolord]

very cool

[bobac1083]

What is the aircraft? Im a flight sim guy so i want that aircraft for my sim now.

[kpoida]

[ikar666]

[ikar666]

Which S1 is it? T or S ?

[TomcatE303]

It is S-1C

[lusomanada]

Because of audioslave. 5 stars!

[ukpitts]

Fantastic! looks like an idylic airfield too. How did you mount the cam to the tail?

[slickhutto]

Thanks a lot! We machined our own mount to place the GoPro camera on top of the vertical.

[airshowproductions]

Are you also going to let us get in this next year when you take me? :P

[yala073]

Hello, i'm sad your airfield is so far from here.

i'd like to come and land there and make a fligt together whith both Pitts of us.

well done boy ,Franck

[corbystarlet]
