Flew from New Hampshire to Florida last week to deliver a plane, just pieced this video together. I think it came out quite well tbh

EDIT 2/22/12:

For those that wondered how the video was shot, I took these two pictures today:

Ill have another video up in a few weeks, it'll be a compilation of a few flights over a few different aircraft and a helicopter

I got a Go Pro HD Hero 2 camera for Christmas which comes with a mount for action shots. Yesterday I put it on the wing of my plane and flew a few friends to Maine. I think the video turned out nicely

Here's the camera and the mount

have you ever tied someone to the wing of your plane and done a bunch of barrel rolls to try to get some information out of them?

Why isnt the propellor constantly spinning its tits off? Hardly moving just after take off, or is it spinning really fast, too fast?

I bet your amazing pilot, well the proof is there, even so, you wouldnt get me in a little plane like that.

It's spinning at an RPM such that the FPS of the camera doesn't actually see it as movement

ie, it's in the same place every time the camera records a frame, so looks like it's stationary.

Was it fisheye, or does the propeller really flex that much in flight?

It was shooting in fisheye, but i think the prop looks weird because either a. the tip is moving faster than the root, or b. its a constant speed prop so the blades change pitch. Idk though to be honest

I did all my training in the warrior and was scared to go anywhere with it cause it is a flying brick. The arrow, on the other hand, has much better performance in just about everything and I love it However, once you have the landing gear down and the flaps extended, it turns into a flying brick like the warrior haha

The warrior glided quite well compared to the Seneca. Idle that thing you pitch forward instantly and die. The warrior was a lot nicer to land, I only made about 3 decent landing in the Seneca. Equivalent landings in the warrior were about ten times.
