Great stuff, a pleasure to watch.

What camera do you use in the wing?

Hiya, thanks for watching! It's just a gopro clone on a magnetic mount from ebay. Fine unless nil-wind, then it's poss it pulls the leading edge down when performing an inexperienced forward!

post deleted due to being about a decade late.

Just the line I clipped, cut the sheathing and a few fibres of the core. New one was £10. I got away with it, very lucky and a lesson learned.. gets replaced in the next vid.

Thank you for watching!

FFS...

Airtime!

Hang in there, it does eventually just 'click'.
 

Thanks!

I have a godlike slider in Photoshop, but it only works on airborne subjects!

LOL, good to know! Thanks!

Here's the first video, from October. Starting training in October, ahead of a winter with less flyable days than average, wasn't my best idea. It does mean though, that as spring approaches, I'm nearly ready to fly for the first time and start buying stuff!
New channel etc, I'd be VERY greatful of ANY likes, subscribes and comments.. X

p.s. I'm making my tenth video now.. the quality does get better!

I feel those feels.. only done a couple of runs wearing the motor myself and had results very like yours. I'm sure it's another one of those 'once you get it, you get it' things, like kiting was.

Onwards and upwards! Let me know when you're down there again, I'll try to make it.

Paul.

Ah! I see you.. great to meet you today!

Hi Andy, I'm in Rushden, about to give a Clive a ring to get started.
Nice to see 'thoroughly recommended'. 
Can I ask a few questions?

Have you finished training, how long did it take?

Did you do a 'block' or odd spare days?

How many flights did you do there after you were able to get airborne?

Were you able to buy gear from CMP?
 

Thanks!
Paul.
