New Years Day Fun Fly Photos

This is to add to Mark Sullivan's post with some photos. And here they are:

Just a few of the attendees for this event

The Telemaster braves the high & gusty wind

Another pass
I wasn't able to photograph all the flying. I missed Mark Seimen flying a variety of planes including a tiny F-86 ducted fan jet. And he took it off from our not too smooth runway and in the high wind too!!! I also should have taken pictures of our great food spread. We had some good eats that were provided by many.

New Years Day fun fly event for 2014

Although the winds turned out to be quite daunting there were numerous pilots that got in at least one if not several flights today during the Fremont County Radio Control Club's 3rd annual "Nitro-Chili-Burn" fun fly event on New Year's Day, January 1st, 2014.
 The event "officially" got underway at the posted scheduled time of 11AM MST at our field located on the Fremont County Airport property, but several pilots and family members and their friends started out arriving early and helping to get things set up for the event.
 We put out the chili and all the fixin's for everyone to enjoy eating and I think it was a good successful day when you head back home with almost no leftover chili or fixin's.
 I'll post pictures and a video sometime later on to the blog here once I get it downloaded, converted and edited and will let everyone know when I get those things done later on.
Happy New Year to each and every one of our flying brothers and sisters.
Pic's coming soon,
Mark

Here is a video I took today at our flying field using my GoPro Hero3 Camera system mounted on top of my UPROAR .40 size 3d plane.
Kenny McMullen did a lot of the flying in this video, especially the good inverted and low pass stuff shown on here. I attempted to get inverted near the last part of this video with very limited and pretty much lousy results......and yet I will nail it someday.........at least this landing was a lot better than the past few filmed landings I've attempted to do......so there is success in part afterall!!!
Enjoy the video now, and I hope to get in more flights this weekend depending on how the weather holds out for us to fly or not.
Thanks for checking it out and be sure to leave any comments and suggestions you may have below.

Quad-Copter first flight attempt using my GoPro camera system

I now have an Eflite Blade 350QX Quad-Copter that is set up for a GoPro camera mounting system. I am using my GoPro Hero3 Black edition camera onboard this very stable flying bird, and it sure makes it easy to get some good shots too.
 I'll post a link to the video on here so you can enjoy watching how stable this system really is. It sure makes me look a LOT better at flying than I really am.....lololol
This was shot yesterday afternoon about 4pm or so at Pathfinder Park soccer fields west of Florence, CO. and notice the standing water on the grass in various places from all of the melted snow there.

Enjoy this video and let me know what you think about this setup too.

Mother Nature was not cooperating today

I was hoping to get in some more flying with my new Go Pro video camera setup using my .40 size GP UPROAR airplane but the winds were a bit unsettled and breezy when I thought about heading over to the field to attempt flying. I really enjoy this new video part of flying even though I'm not very good at the editing part of this deal by any means yet. And the flying leaves a bit to be desired yet too...hahaha!!!
I also got to thinking about the upcoming "Nitro-Chili-Burn" New Years Day flying event, so I sent out an early email reminder to everyone to get them to thinking about attending this great flying event the club puts on every year now. Remember it is a go no matter what the weather brings, so you may want to get those ski's ready just in case too. We had a huge turnout of people that showed up for this great event and everyone really enjoyed it a lot. Tell your buddies about it and let's all get together to welcome in the New Year for 2014 while having a lot of fun flying and enjoying each others great company.
Let me know when you can about attending and what you may need also. I'll be sharing my award winning "Nitro-Burn-Chili" with everyone and please feel free to bring anything you care to also.
I hope to see everyone out flying and enjoying this great fall weather we are experiencing right now too.

My new GoPro Hero3+ video camera in use.


Here is the corrected flight video with audio of a flight I took on 11-10-13 at our clubs field. I hope to get lots more videos in the near future also from several different aircraft and vantage points too.
