  • This was my 4th flight with my DF so I expect set-up times etc. to improve with use (but I hate rushing as I always make mistakes)... However the machine is a real pleasure to fly, wheels up/down works very well and I'm starting to think about all the interesting things I can do next :-)

  • OH ! Ok , I get it now. Its a Tidal wave influx of water up this inlet Right ? And your chasing it . LOL ! I though you were chasing somethin Really Realy BIG in that water, like a Loch Ness type thing . Gees.. Fooled me real Good HAHAHA! Nice Vid ! Thanks for posting

  • Hi - yes it a tidal surge that causes a wave to form and flow up river. It is surfable also and can be surfed for quite some distance (there are other great videos of it on youtube under Severn Bore) :-)

  • Greetings. I take my time rigging and pre-flighting so I would say about an hour (but could do it in about 45mins). Takes about 30mins to de-rig.

  • Best footage I have ever seen of the Severn Bore.

    Can I use the vid for promotion?

    

  • Hi Ben - you certainly can... :-) thank you

see all

  • Great video. I subscribed.

  • How long does it take to (1) Rig & (2) DeRig ur aircraft?

  • Great vid! When did you fly from? Over? I'll come down and fly my Bug some time.

    G

  • Great video! Would be better if you can get a better camera so we can see it in HD. Not one of those gopro's though, the fisheye effect ruins the vids.
