My first 2011 flight

[PaulG-rc]

Hi Guys

Well today was a nice day and I felt good so I took out my Radian glider with my Contour GPS HD cam for a couple flights.
The wind had picked up and it was on the chill side but it was fun.
I tried to edit the video but the software gave me an error so this is the full unedited video.

Paul, i found it relaxing just watching and listening to the wind. Very clear, on my 24" screen just fantastic. Glad to see you are getting better.

great clip and pic, you should make a turn at the club and get a good BBQ with us Paul:)

[PaulG-rc]

I wanted to fly higher but my eyes are not the best now , so I stayed lower at about 600feet.

Yes BBQ would be nice but I dont think I could enjoy de menu now , I'm kind of restricted now for food choices. :)

so nice Paul!!

thanks angain for the picture for my blade!

[PaulG-rc]

Looks nice Paul. What kit have you got to track your flight?

Its the Contour GPS camera HD.
When you use their software story teller it reads the GPS and overlays the track on google earth.
It still cant read the original mov file with the datas yet unless you use their software but they are working on it.

:D I'm so sorry :D:D but it is so stable for nice videos, actually a better wing on mine and it would even be better :D

[PaulG-rc]

Was out in late afternoon for more video flights and this time I went higher and it went good.
I installed the camera on a different location and it gave a nice video

I flew over the river between Ile Bizard and Cap-St-Jacques.

I also had a flight with my T-Rex500 on floats on the powder snow :D
I have to admit I was nervous flying it since it had been a long while since I flew my helis.

Very impressive Paul.

Glad to hear that you are improving health wise.

Keep it up.

HEy Paul
Nice flight. Tell me when you fly your t rex in the cold is there anything to watch out for, or does everything respond as usual. My main question is how is your Gyro working at these low temps?? I am thinking of taking my heli out. What Gyro do you have? Regards Pete

[PaulG-rc]

Hi Peter

Well at -3'c no problem it responds very well like summer but I flew it last winter at -10c and the servos were a bit slower, its the align package so the align servos and the gyro is the 401.
I just wait about 5 min before plugging the batt to give the gyro a chance to adjust for the ambiant temp.

[PaulG-rc]

Very impressive Paul.

Glad to hear that you are improving health wise.

Lafleur's is will come sooner rather than later!

Keep it up.

no more Lafleurs for me I'm afraid Don :rolleyes:
Yes getting better but very slowly. :)

[Mick]

Paul, are we going to see you at the indoor this year?

[PaulG-rc]

Its kind of hard since I only have 1 thursday off a month this winter.
It might change in a month but not shure how it will turn out.
