  • I agree with bass3587. I am surprised as to how you managed to save the camera everytime.

  • I have had a lot of different configurations of the plane, camera mounts and cameras. I wish I could tell you the cameras were always saved, but that is not the case. I always used Casio Exilim cameras but they are pretty fragile. In fact, the slightest bit of dust or sand in the lens-to-body gap will destroy the servo gears. I now use a ContourHD Helmet Cam by VholdR. Very good product. By the way, I have a bag FULL of scrapped Casio Exilim cameras.

  • Dude are you nose-heavy! Seems like most of your crashes and nose first or are you stalling the plane?

  • Nah, just lack of experience and carelessness. Doing better these days.

  • Your my hero I bet you've 1 bladed prop coloection as big as mine. What kind of camera is that? I'd like to get a midair hit from that perspective. Your camera looks like it could survive and it shoots better video than my handheld to boot.

  • The camera I use is, in my opinion an excellent product. It is a Casio Exilim 8.1 MP camera. My old 7.2 Megapixel. camera was lost along with one of my Slow Stick camera. Both use an SD card (I use 4GB). Lens f=6.3-18.9mm-1:31-5.9. Priced at around $200. It has suffered numerous crashes and pretty scarred up now but really has served me well. I recommend it.

  • Holy mackerel, there, Saphire! How is it even *possible* to crash a Slow Stick like that?!? Mine has crashed exactly once, and that was the first time I went to fly it. I was getting it sorted out in the wind and it stalled at about eight feet off the ground. Broke the prop, of course. After that I ground launched it, hand launched it, landed it into the wind, with the wind, and did all kinds of evil things without harm. Oy! Get that landing wired, dude!

  • Nice Compilation...I just bought a slow stick. BTW, I love the Keith Green!

  • Very enjoyable video. You need to master the art of the flare, dude!

  • Wow! you really need to practice your landings! I bet your local hobby shop knows you by first name :)

  • Bounce of a building and still flying and the landing on the roof! How where you able to get it off the roof? I really enjoy your videos. My SS is ready and camera and stuff. But I am a 60plus novice pilot. You know I would never think that flying in a 50 acrer lot that my SS would pick right where I was standing to crash. What's up with that?
