Mad Dogs 3 - Skywalkers in formation

dogzilla · June 02, 2013, 10:00:01 PM

Quick video of some of my first time formation flying, It's great fun and I can't wait to do more of it. Need to get a pan setup on my flight cam.

Got a load of names to remember but pretty sure that was Krikeys skywalker. I wonder if we both had the same APM if we could program two planes to fly close in formation. Maybe with a nice big fat 10hz GPS receiver for better positioning?

Very nice mate, well done.

I love them skywalkers, they are great platforms. You can carry so much in them and it looks like you are having wonderful fun, that's what it's all about. Well done lad.

Nice vid. Formation is great fun, adds a whole new aspect to flying.

Really nice, and a close call there. Following each others planes around is so much fun... I don't knwo why it should be, but it's great to do, and great to watch :)

A really fantastic vid Sir! Video of the month entry for sure!

I may have some matching footage looking back the other way for Dogzillas Skywalker. Great video Dog! If I post up some footage that may be deemed as interesting, does anyone want to put a Mad Dogs compilation together?

Since I have no real flights to speak of I'll post this question up on the thread and ask for only top notch stuff :) I'd be glad to... gonna be the only way anyone ever uses that intro too. Boohoohoo :)

Nice :) The SW's always fly so smoothly so the video looks slicker!

You should defo point your camera down a little though, it will sort out the light metering :)

Mad Dogs Meet Day 2

Brucey · June 03, 2013, 03:41:47 PM

I'm watching you! >:D

dogzilla · June 03, 2013, 04:24:27 PM

That Split-S maneuver at 3:00 is terrifying!! Had this been WW2 I can safely say that SkyWalker would have been brown bread. Shot to shit. Great stuff!

Brucey · June 03, 2013, 04:27:07 PM

Yeah, I dove down and didn't anticipate the massive speed increase while rich started to climb slightly. It got very interesting very quickly!

We can do a perfect transition using the OSD and HD footage. Basically Neil who was watching said Brucey was higher, so I climbed, while Mr Kamikazi dived. It would have been a terrible tragedy with my 15 minute old Penguin :)
