Wrens Flying Video!

[scottessex]

OK here is the footage from flying in the Quarry at Wrens.
I tried to leave some of the gyro sound in it, but it was just way too much wind noise, so I added some music. Enjoy: :)

Man that was pretty cool!

Very nice Scott,

I like it that you can see your aircraft and the way the others come in and out of view.

The flashing of the rotor blades is a very nice touch and the shadows are nice.

Thank you, Vance

Thanks Guys! I am still learning how to do all this stuff, I just got a new camera for my birthday! (ebay)
It is supposed to have twice the video resolution as the one I have been using,
so hopefully I can get better at it.

Next year Phil you and Robert are coming with us!

I'm not ready to move up to Tim Chick's, or Shawn Adam's level yet!

I can't wait, that really looks like an awesome place to fly. I didn't even burn up $80 worth of fuel that I bought on the way down there.

I was heartbroken when I woke up Sunday morning and it was STILL windy and dreary so I didn't even get a flight in before packing up to leave.

Very nice job, gyro videos are always so cool and we need more good ones like this.

[Timchick]

Excellent video. Looks like you guys had a blast. Maybe next year I can get up there.

[Joe Pires]

Thanks Scott you imortalized one of my best gyro flying memories. Nice work.

[freebird]

SWEET!!!!

I never thought I was a jealous person until I got into gyros and starting watching videos like this.

Maybe I can make it next year.

that was pretty cool.

I could not tell, was there anyone down in it while ya'll where playing over head?

[scottessex]

Animal, I think we saw 2 guys fixing a truck, but other than that there was nothing going on. At least they were not doing any blasting! :)
I am glad you all enjoyed it. Thanks for the comments.:smokin:

G'Day Scott,

Excellent video. Totally watchable and good job in keeping the others in view.

I do have a question though. At the beginning of the video it appears that the nose of the gyro is doing a little side to side jiggle. Was this you giving us a little more to look at while straight and level or does your gyro's nose drift in yaw a little due to the pod?

Cheers,

Mitch.

[scottessex]

Greg, some of the side to side yaw was to keep the others in the frame. But I have noticed a lot of yaw in the videos, with and without the pod, it is not noticeable while flying, but it does show up in the videos.
I think it because of the large tail (dominator) and from being so close coupled.

Plus it was very windy in and around the quarry.

Thanks Scott.
