More like 6 minutes. But if your looking to chill and get away from it all for a dfew moments may want to watch.

I know when I am down and out, I watch one of my videos and makes me feel better :)

Actually no. I come in for my landing but the wheels on it are small, and my grass is thick, so once the wheels touched down, it nose dives at a very slow rate of speed. I hope to get the bigger wheels and tires for it soon so it will not do this all the time.

AND THANKS GUYS! I enjoy making and sharing these with everyone here. As for the music, its youtube's. I go through all their music looking for that one that fits with time, and whats on the screen, I try my best to find a good match and in some cases takes me several hours before I am happy with what I picked out. It should have a pop up when the video starts of what music it was I used of theirs.

I plan on doing some inside car shots using my Slash very soon. My new body showed up as well, so I got to paint it and set it up. The camera come with a mount thats perfect for my cars, so it will; be very fun to see what you would see had you shrunk to about 3 inches and hoped in for the ride.

At around 2:08 ish you can see a UFO I captured on the video during a stunt. And again with smaller UFO in the shot around 3:58 ish.

awesome clip OP; thanks for sharing.

Dood, Im afraid to use any of my cd music. My luck is not the best, and had I used mine Id have the RIAA at my door within seconds of posting it, and I have too much going for me to have any more bad happen.

Besides some of the music is pretty good if you take the time and go through it all looking for that perfect one.

This is the camera I used.
I liked it over any other because it shoots at 25fps and not 29.999 like others so it gives me the blur as one would get using a tv camera. It also takes still shots up to 60 a minute, and the front rotates lens to be able to stand it up and capture, or lay it down when on my plane and capture. I liked the fact it does that VERY much for most are stationary, and this opens a world of possibilities as to what application I feel like mounting it to.

All I was thinking was coordinate those turns, do RC planes just fly uncoordinated or does it not give you enough control finesse to coordinate? Also your landing failed because you didn't fully stall it. The elevator goes to level right before touchdown, then it flips, if done correctly elevator should just stay back especially if you are concerned about the wheels digging in.

Cool video overall and all my observations come from treating the RC plane like a real one so I am pretty much talking out of my ass.

iirc super cub is a 2 channel, rudder and elevator only.

nosing in with the smaller airplanes in grass is common. he did come in a little hot but its could be from higher wing loading from the camera.

also i have no idea what you mean by coordinated. its a model airplane and hes just flying around for fun. flying model airplanes are in some ways harder than real airplanes because you have no feedback except for visual and audio cues.
