Final Approach
Believe it or not, I paid $60 for an HD go pro video, which I thought came with sound. It did not (but had some music instead).
The camera was mounted to the outside of the glider via a suction cup, and the DVD was mailed to me.
However, I have not uploaded or posted that 45 minutes of video (or the shorter clip they send to share with friends and family) for two reasons:
1. In the actual video, my full name is embedded (last name). I need to contact them for removal.
2. In reviewing my own HD videos today (shot with my hand held cell phone) I find them BETTER because of the sound. I had shown folks the video at the Reno Air Races with the sound turned off and it was not until today that I heard the sounds. Holy cow, you can hear the CFI explain each manuever!!!
Here is the breakdown:
Aerobatic Glider Video 1
1. Point the nose down, to gain airspeed. Get to 100 knots, then perform a "loop".
2. Go upside down (inverted). Hang out upside down.
3. Go right side up again.
4. Fly "straight up" again and then turn the plane - it goes dead silent for about 2 seconds and seems to come to a complete stop. (You can hear me say "wow!" at this point)
5. Do the same as number 4, only in the other direction.
6. Around 1:20 you will hear the CFI say "now we are going to do what is called a cuban eight" (fun!!!) - he explains in the video this is a half loop, half roll manuever.
