isoaritfirst Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Worth having a rate switch I think, £5 an hour? No seriously it looks like a nice model for flying big aeros with some ballast onboard as well as light twiddling stuff, and a couple of rate settings would make flying a very versatile experience.

Baldyslapnut Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Hi John, Where do you normally fly? Is it still Milk Hill etc? I will pop down and you can have a go. Mike will be in touch and we can meet up for a fly. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyslapnut Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Dave Woods flies the beast at Firle in okay conditions. The lens fogs up at the end for some reason. Overall I think Dave enjoyed flying Jim and Tony's new creation. Another video of me flying: Weather looks good for Wednesday so the plan is to go to the Orme and fly. Jonathan Wells should be there. So I will try to shoot a video with a better camera. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and race model yachts) but could meet up at Milk Hill, Butser, Whitesheet, Harting, based Southampton way. Nice to See Dave on the sticks! cheers, John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodstock Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I just wanna know: can it do loops? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_B Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 It would indeed be more beneficial to see it do something more than loops rolls and stall turns .......dare I say it that we were treated to a better display of this by the Dark Lord with his needle 115 on Sunday in what was below legal racing windspeed with over 1kg of ballast . Just saying .. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin_N Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Got to say Greg's display with the 115 was just awesome to watch, but then I've seen him do the same with a Baudis 4m Salto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyslapnut Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Sorry guys too many loops and stall turns. Just trying to keep it close to the camera which is a GoPro. Will try harder when we have access to a better camera. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodstock Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Yeah, the GoPro is really a tough tool for filming flying. The lens just has too wide a POV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try harder when we have access to a better camera. Greg Greg, try another Go Pro setting (medium mode ) w/o the fisheye. Try to have the model always centered, this should be good to fly 80-100m away . In addition editing software (Drenaline) to zoom in video ~20% helps. done here with a 1,5 m model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thermaldoctor Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Yes I agree with GoPro medium mode. Used it quite succesfully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyslapnut Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Question. Modes I have are: WVGA60 WVGA120 720-30 720-60 960-30 960-40 1080-30 There is no medium mode Which is the best mode for filming models? Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkm Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Greg try the FOV ( field of view ) on medium I run my Hero 3 on 1080 with 60 fps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isoaritfirst Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I don't use a go pro, but the resolution of most cameras is now much higher than needed for video of a respectable standard. So while the go pro has no zoom don't be frightened of using a magnification in the editing. Once zoomed in you can reposition the frame to get a "cut" as well. Useful for adding in stabilization, although that can be a lot of work to do manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyslapnut Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Cheers for tips. Set with suggested settings. Will try again. Thank you Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinj Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 IMPRESSIVE.......Jonathan Wells is so relaxed in DS flying that he performs a rolling circle in the DS loop with the new 2.75m Aresti aerobat. Jonathan's flying speaks for itself and the Aresti was not designed as a DS glider...remarkable. Just gives us something to aim at ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Kevin,Haven't seen you for ages, hope you're well.I don't particularly like this video (well my flying anyway) as it was my very first flight with the ArestI 108 and I was flying it opposite mode. If Tony or Greg let me have another go I will fly it the correct mode (2)...haha See you on top of a hill soon. Cheers,J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
