Second Look

Well the video of the Godfrey the other day was a little short and had a lot of cuts in it. I know a lot of people out there aren't a big fan of having a whole lot of cuts in a flying video because they wan't to see more flying and less editing. So I decided to re-import all the footage and take a second look at what I had from that day. The video is a bit longer at 7 minutes, but it still has good flying. I also re-cut some production music for different feels throughout the video. So go ahead, sit back, relax, and enjoy this second look at the Godfrey Extra 300.

New Godfrey Video

Well we brought the Godfrey back out to the field yesterday and the weather was perfect. We had a beautiful sky backdrop, minimal wind (however it did pick up now and then as thunderstorms loomed nearby), and the beautiful, manicured field to ourselves! It was a great day!

After about 25 flights I'm really starting to settle in with this plane. It was a little odd stepping up from flying four foot wingspan planes to seven foot wingspan planes, and jumping from 3 pounds to 19. I tuned in the setup and got it just the way I like it, and we managed to shoot some decent video yesterday. I was practicing a lot of high alpha stuff, and I think it looked okay.

Enjoy!

Better Godfrey Video

Wow, did I really post the video that's more suckish? Hmm... well here's the better one. A bit less editing, and I used my other computer to edit and it has a better editor and saved it in higher quality. I then uploaded it to Vimeo because I didn't want 5 videos of the same flight on my youtube channel. Anyway, here's a better video than the one below, and hopefully sometime this week we'll get out to the field and get some more. I'm getting more used to this plane and it's a blast!
