I had a sweet flight to Ranger Creek for a picnic lunch the other day. It was gorgeous going and coming home. Man, I like to fly, and I love being surrounded by so many beautiful spots to fly to.

Very nice! Pretty place. What camera and filter were you using? It looks like image stabilization and a neutral density filter to reduce prop artifacts.

Yeah Andy, I'm using an antique camera called the Countour. It's a little, bullet shaped camera that I bought new in 2014. GoPro was so successful the Contour isn't made anymore. The image stabilization is challenged by the vibration of my 0360 C1F at certain RPM. There is a noticeable shudder as I reduce power to land in this video. That's the airframe shaking the tube the camera is mounted on. I'll have to upgarde to a newer camera at some point but this one is still hanging in there, so there's no rush. I use a circular polarizer and that has the same affect as a neutral density filter and it gets rid of some glare. I record all my landings, hoping to learn something, but the key to consistency still eludes me with my MX7-180. I'll be learning until I lose my license...
