SloV-VFR01Small.wmv
14,145KB, 2:47; Town Lane, Amagansett at dusk in October 2005: first time I flew by watching the monitor instead of the plane ("Visual Flight Rules"), enabling amazing altitude, with the new home-made microwave tuned plate antenna on the Q-See receiver.
SloVBeach01.wmv
10,026KB, 0:51; Indian Wells Beach, Amagansett in October 2005, on a glorious sunny day. Still using the original rubber-ducky dipole on the receiver.
SloVCTHighSchool.wmv
10,066KB, 0:54; Brian McMahon High School Playing Field, Norwalk CT, October 2005, made w/Windows Movie Maker in .wmv format (so the file is big but it should play w/o needing the DivX codec like the files marked with a "*" below). Picture from a Sony 2-board CCD (480 lines) on the SloV park flyer (whose landing gear you see!) driving the 10mW xmitter board from the old Q-See CMOS camera.
SloVmix03.avi*
29,239KB, 3:58; A montage of Slo-V flights in the Hamptons, September 2005. Just one exciting crash-landing after another...
0604b.avi* 12,750KB, 1:55; 0604c.avi* 9,189KB, 1:23
Flying a week after 'RCSG01' at the school grounds overlooking the dam, with the old CMOS camera (not very clear!) on the Aerobird Extrem (much bigger plane this time!) In attendance -- Will and Mary!
RCSG01.avi*
6,717KB, 0:58; A very shaky flight in high winds around the elementary/high school grounds with views across the Whitney Point Dam. This final flight ended in a spectacular cartwheeling crash that positively hurts to watch. Amazing how this camera stands up to the abuse it's gotten at my hands!
RCUL03.avi*
3,462KB, time=0:33; A short flight around the field that was aborted 'with extreme prejudice' as another tree loomed up. This landing ripped the camera off the plane.
RCUL02.avi*
6,279KB, 1:00; More views from the campground with some harrowing dives and banks. Hold onto your lunch... followed by a rather harder landing.
RCUL01.avi*
16,337KB, 2:40; Circling the campground 1/2 mi. from our place in Upper Lisle, with some good altitude and views across the water and bridge down below. My least hard landing!
RCtree.avi*
3,462KB, 0:45; Camera was pointed down which is kinda dizzying, but there's a nice crash into a tree at the end. It took quite a while to get the plane outta that tree...
