  • lo funny background 4:25

  • @3omar619

    Since then this park has banned flying in case some one lands on top of those cycle races. Shame really.

  • This is a really great view! I have seen nothing like it so kudos for your creativity. How is the camera mounted? I am impressed with how stable the camera stays. At first I thought it was fake! Any pictures of the mount?

  • Thanks! It is a V of carbon tubing attached to the wingtips held in compression (bent a little up) by wire attached to the tail. CG was balanced by a little weight added at the rear. I was still not sure whether it would fly, it looked very strange in the air but went fine! Working on more angles for next video and will show rig.

  • Dont want to add to your woes but have you seen the wing flex on some of those loops? Keep an eye on the dihedral and watch it increase!. Youcan see a crease that appears under load on the l/h wing root (as you look at the plane, check at around 1:24)? Reinforce the wings?

  • well, did you find the prop?

  • great safe, thats grazy losing prop in flight.

  • nice, cool trick.

  • wow i like this :D

  • @wjhawaii

    I agree, it seems so backwards. They should have banned cycles in case one of them ran over a plane and damaged it.

    Absolutely love the perspective provided with your camera mount. A very creative idea.

  • Like a BOSS! :)

  • Wow!!...good safe recovery, love the camera angle best cam vid on the Tube!

  • Cool video :) The camera viewpoint is excellent. Could you post a video of the V of carbon tubing, and show us how it is attached to the tail and wingtips please? Many thanks ;)
