Crash side landing

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 00:03:53 GMT

An emergency side landing on Kettle Sings. Not something I'm proud of, but 'any landing you walk away from is a good landing!!'. Don't try this at home kids! Incidentally, in this footage my camera was attached to the flight deck on my lap, I was actually looking where I was going ;-)

Flying in Orographic cloud at Beer head

Flying in orographic cloud is beautiful on a sunny day - fortunately this is pretty light so easy to fly through. Landed with a wet wing after this was shot. Was going to go fly along the bay to Sidmouth... but the wind changed to prevent this. Handheld camera - so a bit shakier than normal! ( press the rectangular button next to the play button above if this movie appears small)

Kiting at Mercury

Jason & Chris and Matt doing some kiting at Mercury after the wind had dropped off

Going for a spin on my Skywalk Chili

Spin and asymetric tuck on SIV course with Fabien Blanco / Flyeo in Annecy. The spin was due to me applying too much left brake and zero weightshift on going into the turn. The wing folded on recovery as the spin was stopped and at that point the left wing (from my view) had zero airspeed and stalled.
