The Weldon Dynamic Soaring experience

A nice evening DS acro session at Weldon DS ridge.
Cruising at about 200mph with the incredible Wizard Compact DSX.
Video captured on head mounted GoPro Hero HD camera
Audio captured with Zoom H2 audio recorder with dead cat wind screen. The low frequency roar you hear is the plane crossing the dirty shear layer, not wind or anything on the mic.

After watching this about a 100 times, I just noticed, I did this whole flight with gloves on. ;)

Haven't seen such a enjoyable DS video like this in a while. Thanks for sharing that with us. Question for you. I have a BPV wizard myself and was wondering if you know of any folks switching to 2.4 on this ship? Currently I have a 72 MHz and been tossing and turning about going 2.4. I see you're running the 72MHz as well. I don't recall if the nose and Fuse are CF.

@Ricom69 All the BPVs I owned or seen of have carbon fuses. I can't speak to those made

in the last year or so. I'd be leery of using 2.4Ghz on this plane, unless I had good

telemetry to tell me the quality of the signal.

10min of pure joy!

@daemn42 Yeah I suppose it's pretty rough at that speed. What an amazing thing to do with a plane though, wow!! How did you learn this art?

[daemn42]

@hagfelsh I've never made an onboard video of DSing. Others have, and generally it's not that interesting. Just ground, sky, ground, sky, ground, sky, and lots of shaking.

@daemn42 Ian, I couldn't find an on-board video of DS.. did you remove it, or am I confused?

Very cool vid and a very nice place to fly, sadly there are no sites like this in the Netherlands, I need a lot of volts and KV's to achieve such speeds here..............
