It has been a windy spring this year so when a weather window opened up last weekend I was off to the Utah backcountry!! The goal was to enjoy the amazing sights that is southeast Utah. The backcountry flying there is spectacular!! Here is the first video of this trip – more to come!! A… [Read More]
Avoiding Big Rocks in the Backcountry
It has been a busy, busy spring and summer – stressful too. I hope to update ya’ll on all that at some point. In the mean time, here’s a short video of one of the summers activities. I hope you enjoy!
Snow on the Mountains
I’ve got a couple new videos for you! This one is filmed with a 360 degree camera. I’m still learning how to process the footage and turn it into a video so don’t expect too much. Do crank up the resolution though! This one I captured a few weeks ago. Short and sweet but… [Read More]
Canyon Flying
Howdy all… another video for you. I seem to be doing more flying than talking/writing these days. Probably a good thing!! 🙂 This time, canyon flying in the mountains. There was wildfire smoke from California in the skies but I couldn’t let it ruin my flying. On this day, I visited the Beaverhead airstrip, Negrito… [Read More]
Post rain video camera testing flight
Saturday morning was beautiful here in New Mexico. Rain showers had passed thru overnight. There was lots of moisture on the ground (for the desert) and even some still falling from the sky. A perfect opportunity to do some sight seeing! I needed to do some video camera testing so I strapped on the cameras… [Read More]
First Flight of the Decade
Yeah… I know, the decade started a couple months ago…. I actually flew on that day. It’s the video production bit that has lagged. But… it is here… finally. Apologies for the laggardness… 🙂
For Amanda – Flight to Bendit
Amanda – this one is for you! Last week you asked: “What is Bendit?” So, I created a video for you. This is all footage from my very early morning flight out there this past Saturday morning. It’s as much about getting there as it is being there but I hope you get the idea…. [Read More]
Johnson Creek Flying/Camping Trip
Time for another backcountry flying/camping trip to Johnson Creek. Last years trip report is here. My flying buddy, Mike, and I departed at 0530 Sunday morning and headed north. The entire trip north is full of beauty and its hard to take it all in. We spent a few minutes exploring the Canyonlands/Moab, Utah area…. [Read More]
Backup Video Camera Update
Now that I have a few miles with the eRaptor backup video camera system, I thought I should provide an update. As I mentioned several weeks ago (here), my backup camera was a four camera eRaptor kit from Amazon. Two of the cameras are squarish forward/backward type cameras and two are more aerodynamic and intended… [Read More]
Backup Video Camera
I finally got the rear looking backup video camera mounted. I’ve been putting this off cause I hate drilling holes in the outside skin but the time had come. Oh, the other issue is that large air “tunnel” that goes down the center of the wall (on the inside). I feared gaining access behind that…. [Read More]
