I had my dad film me flying my R/C plane today. It's hard to see some of the time, my dad's not a great camera mann. Also, to those who have never flown, it's not as easy as it looks.

Full Version: Vid of my R/C plane
Very good Behemoth. I took flying lessons. Landing is such a trip on a windy day. You should try the real thing.

No0b! Don't blame your dad for your your lame flying skills. Where is the inverted tail stall? Show me some real talent and I'll forgive you for missing playing time on the servers.
BTW, I'm guessing from the sound thats your new gas engine plane? Very nice. I've never seen electric, tho. Put up some footage of that too.

When I build a new plane for my electric motor I will post some video of it.
thats awesome blk.. my uncle flies RC planes aswell its so cool ive tried it maybe twice myself but my uncle dont let me touch them anymore since i broke a brand new electric motor plane when i was 7 lol
cool stuff blk
Damn, just how many planes did you break-up before you got that good? Awesome!
Ive crashed 1 or 2 in my day. I love flying and its not as easy as it looks by any means. Try to land a 1000 dollar plan in a high head wind, dead stick....its not fun.
Here's a vid of the plane I just got for my b-day.

WOW cool.
i made a paper airplane once.....it flew a whole 10 ft
Wow very cool, if only I had money for a new toy I know what I would get.
A little tip, may help it may not
From the videos the focus seem to go in and out.
I can't tell if it's from the camera or from encoding to .wmv
Most video camera's have an option to turn off the auto-focus, the option is even hidden on a few.
If your camera has the option of turning off autofocus, zoom out to max optical zoom ( not digital zoom ), then manually set the focus.
It should help with the bluring in and out when the camera can't find the small plane at larger distances.
Then again it might not help do to the speed of the plan, but you should give it a try.

I looked all through the menus and couldn't find anything about the auto-focus, but there are ways to change it to different settings like Beach & Sky, Sunset, and a few others, and right now it's set for Auto, so I might try changing that and see if it helps. There were also some white balance settings that are like indoor, outdoor, and something else, and it's set on auto right now too, so I might try giving that a try.

nice video. Adjusting WB probably won't help the clarity of the video, only the hue. The AF/M setting for the focus is usually (usually) a physical switch near the lens that looks like AF/M, or it'll say manual.
