I posted this on another forum and Chief thought the clips were cool so I figured I'd copy and paste this post over here for anyone who wants to see them. As some of you know I fly model helicopters and that's what this post relates to.
------------------------------
ok so I plowed my good heli into a field while my digital camera was attached to the front filming short video clips of my nephew riding his fourwheeler through a field. well the good thing is, I have a several cool clips before the last flight which distroyed the camera and a nice list of parts on the heli, the other good thing is while following him though the field I managed not to crash on him. we were filming the 2nd fourwheeler run when the crash happened but we were unable to recover the video from the crash so I could see what went wrong and everyone else can see what it looks like to hit the ground at about 45mph.
I'm not real sure yet if I should claim this as pilot error or not because I was more or less in a hover when I lost control, and it's kinda hard to fukk up when the heli is just sitting there...so I don't know
video clips from heli
first test run to see if it would work
