Wednesday pix
Today I flew my new cheapo "Action Camera" to get a shot of the field with the new smooth conveyor-belt surfacing in the pits and executive taxi-way along with our lovely 9 metre by 50 metre runway.
I used a high-tech approach as can be seen in the accompanying pix.
The Art-Tech Diamond 1800 Glider is shown lying on its back with the camera nestled in its port wing-pit.
The Action Camera came with a range of mounting options in the box, but resort had to be made to other suitable methods so as to preserve the pristine (not) glider.
It's amazing how smooth and stable the model looks in-flight when watching from ground level but how violently it is chucked about by every bit of breeze when viewing the video.
