Yes, there is, Lee, just above the bottom of the main list, and above 'kits'. -

The Video Channel
Model flying and aircraft related videos - youtube, Vimeo etc.

Na I was thinking vid thread for gliders , power just doesn't do it for me at all

 

Lee

We are a broad church here, Lee - I'm sure the power flyers will be open-minded enough to enjoy your vids!

Pete

Don't get me wrong Pete , I have nothing against power flyers , And can totally see why they do it , If I am honest I can't afford to have more than one type/discipline of models in my hanger . So I try and steer clear of power on that basis .

 

Just thought a vid thread in the glider section would be nice

 

Lee ( no offence meant to any one )

Sorry mr moderator sir I will try harder !!

Hi all

Here's a little ( read as big ) video I made whilst I have sooooo much time on my hands , Plans are to make a video explaining what,how,why and where to land a slope plane without breaking it into a kit form

Anyway here's a quick video test

 

Another vid from DunMor productions

 

 

 

Enjoy

As a devout Petrol head in RC. I thoroughly enjoy these types of video. These pilots have a unique skill set. Very well worth watching. Just adds to my appreciation of the diversity capable within this great hobby.

BB .... Thanks (Well worth a bump eh Timbo ?)

Cheers biggles nice of you too say

Catbells II

 

 

Vimeo seems to be quite popular for video hosting, I for one have been using it for quite a while. Some of you may already now and are members of the RC Slope Soaring group (I am already) So here is the link:

There are some cracking videos on there take a look!

I walked up catbells earlier this year and with my pins that's quite an acheivement even so I'm sure that I could have managed the bruden of a Tx and Wildthing or similar had been introduced to the fine art of sloping at that time .

Being a newcomer though I wonder about permisssion to fly in such places. For example there I am on holiday in the [some unfamiliar hilly place] and there's a lovely slope begging for me to go and have a go at it. No houses or farms nearby that seems to suggest ownership of the land... erm, well I don't know, hence my question

Ok, firstly how do you embed a vimeo vid on here

 

Secondly, unless you pay for it, Vimeo only allows you uploads of 500mb per month. Most of my vids are bigger than that. My most recent video of Big Phil sloping for the first time came out at nearly 700mb, and that was reducing it from 1080p to 720p. Guess I'd have to reduce the quality further eh

Ian. One of the guys I fly with tried flying at a mountain near Caerphilly, but this guy came up to him saying he couldn't fly there as he owned the mountain. My mate works for the local council and told the guy he would check this out and get back to him. He did check and it turned out the guy owned the rights to the bridal ways only and it transpired this guy was concerned that the gliders would scare his horses.
