Dynamic Soaring - On Board Video

Onboard video of some moderate DSing with the Opus MC-T at Weldon. Taken with the cheapo Chinese keychain fob camera... Now, who can figure out how to measure the speed by the change in wind noise?

It is 720x480 30fps. And YES, I was chasing Chris Bosley's Red D-80 around the circuit

Yes, but the accel had a 90G limit which we exceeded numerous times!!! You can see the recorded data on RCGroups dotcom in the DS forum

The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious.  And why shouldn't it be? - it is the same the angels breathe. ~Mark Twain, "Roughing It"

70-80 LOL, in a glider is incredible. I know they can go much faster. Too bad there aint a way to commute with DSing. LOL

hahaha, thats awesome spencer, thanks for that, I did a full wing view of a Pike Plus (an ex f3j turned f3fer) and its crazy how much the wings flex, (even at 70-80mph lol)
