Guisborough MFC Air-to-Air. 2005

First attempts at videoing air-to-air with model aircraft at GMFC flying field, Dunsdale, Cleveland. Blue (Target)plane had i/c engine, chase plane electric power. Target did well to slow down enough for chase plane to snatch a few shots. (Orig. 640x480, uploading/converting seems to lose a lot of quality. Still getting the hang of You Tube-ing. When I get the upload right the pics are really good quality, if not content.

Thanks for the welcome and very positive comment, pt60(!) I have a camera now, rescued from my daughter when the battery charge onboard went AWOL, that produces far better 640 x 480 video and 5.1Mp still pictures that would prove even better for airborne shots. Heavier than the DV4 but still, hopefully, able to be dragged aloft by the Slowstick (plane) workhorse. I'll have to do a bit of work on the camera's shutter drive electronics from the receiver to work it from the transmitter. Time ticks
