  1. Helmet Cams And Gyro Videography.

    Is there such a word...videography?

    I really enjoy videoing my flights in the gyro.

    To that end I am constantly looking for 'The Camera'.

    Initially I wanted to get something cheap to experiment with various mounting postions and check out the quality of HD video.

    Presently I am using a little $245 Aiptek 600Z HD camera. I open the viewing screen and fold it back in on the main body of the camera. This means that the screen is now one exposed ...

  3. Cranbourn Hangars Broken Into...Damage Done Items Stolen.

    Before I left for Sydney I had intended to fly the Monarch over to its new hangar.

    Time was against me, so this did not eventuate.

    Day before I left I got a call advising all hangars had their locks cut off.

    Some aircraft were damaged and some instruments stolen.

    The club house was ransacked and microwave, TV and other items damaged throwen out onto the paddock ...

  4. New Hangar New Airfield

    G'Day,

    Well, we have been patiently waiting for a 40 ft High Cube to come our
    way. Approximately 8 months ago I began negotiating with the owners of the
    property to set-up here full-time........ and here we are!
    Will likely fly the Monarch across from Cranbourne this comming week.

    So now I will be based on this property at Greens Beach.

  5. G Force Video

    G'Day All,

    I dont know why I waited so long to Upgrade to the G Force All Terrain Landing Gear.

    It is extraordinary.

    Ole Mate Nudge flew out to Cranbourn to video the 'Landings' so as I could judge the angle of the extended flare. Essentially to study and improve on the technique. I need to not hold the nose so high, this will keep the tail from touching and I need to hold the nose wheel off for longer, being carefull not to dump the front end forward. ...
