  • More onboard video

    Took my MCPX on holiday to Orlando and did quite a few flights, did a few with my new camera on-board, which I know isn't great for the motor/batteries, but hey, it's only money

    hope you like it.

    Whoah, Butlins it ain't ! Lucky bu**er that you are, me jealous ? Just a tad. Nice vid, listen to that poor little sod straining. Going brushless next I'll bet since you say it's only money.

    mCPX, better than a Phoenix anyday.
    Several planks, gathering dust.

    Brains and thumbs work okay, but not at the same time.

        Jealous, who me ?

        [QUOTE=Balders;709010]If you are jealous of that, check this one out

        That's the dogs' doodahs Balders. Something I've always wanted to do but the old bones ain't up to it sadly. You certainly got a buzz there buddy. Jealous ? Nah ! Well perhaps a mite because of the weather over there. Good vid .

            Nonsense, bones shouldn't have any bearing on the matter. My missus is paraplegic and jumped the same day as me

            Jisiku, thanks for that. The camera did affect handling quite badly, but it did mean I was concentrating on flying smoothly rather than tonking around. Keep practising on both SIM and MCPX...I'm certainly nothing special as far as ability goes, you'll get there sooner than you know it.

              Big thumbs up for the lady Balders. Maybe I should own up to not having the guts instead of blaming sciatica and knackered knees stopping me from trying it.

                Looked fantastic!

                But two questions....

                No helmets?

                Where the hell did the mCPx land?

                  nope, no helmets, only the camera guys and that's because the cameras were strapped to them

                  Not sure what you mean about the landing, was the concrete path leading to the front door...?

                    OK.

                    So.... The camera wasn't on the mCPx in the skydiving vid?
