Interesting aviation videos you might not see every day. I try to document some of the more interesting things I do with airplanes, quadcopters, and other devices that fly.
Rochelle Double-Diamond, March 28, 2015
A few brief scenes taken during a random half-hour at the famous "Rochelle Double-Diamond" railroad crossing, Rochelle, Illinois, where the Union Pacific and BNSF lines cross. 80-90 trains per day pass this location. The Rochelle Railroad Park located here is a great place to bring the kids!

2013 FPV QAV400 - Highlights and Lowlights
Переглядів 41310 років тому
This is a collection of highlights from my FPV flying in 2013, plus a "blooper" reel. Most of it was filmed using the awesome Lumenier QAV400 quadcopter fitted with a GoPro Hero 3 camera. (Three brief scenes were filmed using a DJI F550 hexcopter.) Important note: The scenes featuring aircraft and cars were filmed on private property, with the full consent of everyone involved including radio c...
FPV Copter - QAV400 - Cornfield Path
Переглядів 62711 років тому
What do you do when you live where there isn't any particularly spectacular scenery to fly around with your FPV quadcopter? You improvise. This short excursion down a farm access road is a celebration of the bountiful harvest we have in northern Illinois, USA. It's late summer in the Midwest, and the feed corn crop is just beginning to turn brown, from the bottom of the plant and spreading upwa...
FPV Copter - QAV400 - Country Creek
Переглядів 42111 років тому
A quiet valley with a picturesque creek made a perfect setting for my latest FPV quadcopter outing. There were a couple of surprises in store for me, including a blue heron and a Cessna. The wind was slightly gusty, which means there were moments when the ride wasn't as perfectly smooth as I'd like. And I still need work on my landings. Oh well. I hope you enjoy the flight. Music: "Like Family,...
Oshkosh 2013 Warbird Show - Cockpit View
Переглядів 74 тис.11 років тому
An in-cockpit view of the jet warbird flybys at Oshkosh 2013. This footage was taken from an Aero Vodochody L-39 Albatros. You might be able to tell that there is quite a lot of turbulence during a couple of the passes especially the first one, where I flew right into the remnants of a pyro cloud that hammered me pretty hard. Most of the banking back and forth during the passes was just me, try...
FPV Copter - QAV400 - Airport Wheat Field
Переглядів 76911 років тому
A nice jaunt over a summer wheat field turns into a learning opportunity. If you fly R/C aircraft using FPV (First Person View), perhaps you'll learn something from my little experience. So what happened? It turns out that the cheap 12V BEC that supplied power to my video transmitter was beginning to fail. (It took four more flights to fail entirely, getting worse each time.) So there were seve...
FPV Copter - QAV400 - Airport Pond 2
Переглядів 1,3 тис.11 років тому
Another glorious summer evening at the Poplar Grove Airport, Illinois, flying the Lumenier QAV400 quadcopter. I am quickly getting the feel of this awesome little machine, and gaining confidence with each flight. (Yes, that bridge had been calling my name...) The music is a stock track called "Forefathers," released by Smart Sound Music. A list of the basic equipment I use is found at the end o...

A couple of laps around the patch, flying a QAV400 quadcopter at the Poplar Grove Airport in Illinois, home of the Vintage Wings and Wheels Museum, in June 2013. This video is best viewed at 1080 or 720 HD settings. The music is a stock track called "Inspiration," by Smart Sound Music. Enjoy!

A compilation of aerial footage demonstrating our quadcopter (QAV400) and hexcopter (DJI F550). Most scenes were filmed at the Vintage Wings and Wheels Museum in Poplar Grove, Illinois in June 2013.
I don't think I'd tailgate that P-80 that way on takeoff
It’s a CT-133.
Oi it still has the old Soviet artificial horizon! What a relic!
thank you for not ruining the video with shit music like others do...
Love the video. Question: What's the squealing each time you pull back hard on the stick? (Mostly during the go-rounds when you were resetting for another airshow pass). It sounded to me like a buffeting air stream, and I wasn't sure if that was a stall horn, engine strain, or the air-frame "Talking" as you put her under load.
You can read the video description above to find out! :-)
whats the operating cost for an l39?
About $800-$1000 per hour for direct operating costs.
Must buy lottery ticket... DCS L-39 will have to do in the mean time I guess. Thank you for a very cool video.
That was brilliant! Such a beautiful aircraft, that albatros. One of my favorites.
what's that trigger he's pushing on his stick?
ikkeennigij121 That is how he steers the plane on the ground. That trigger applies brakes to either the left or right main wheels, the pilot chooses which wheel with the rudder pedals. That is essentially a "cutting brake". The L-39 does not have nose wheel steering.
bmoorear Ok thank you :)
bmoorear wait, L-39's dont have steerable nose gear?
+jack hanson they don't. They use differential brakes on the mains to stear.
thats crazy i never knew that
Can the RMRC 600XV camera be taken out of it's case or does it need the case to hold the lens?
Fantastic!
Ive wanted to fly my whole life since I was 6. I fly Aces High 2 on the internet but thats about all the flying I do now. I would love to be a performer like this. Its just too expensive these days to get started. How did you get you get started? Military?
<S> from another Aces High pilot! BTW, I have recently been getting into FPV RC airplanes. Got a Corsair (48" wingspan) and a T-28 Trojan (78" Wingspan) Use an OSD module for an F-16 style HUD. Get's you in real air for a fraction of the price - especially if you won't pass the flight physical like myself (Low vision). Anyway, give my best to the GunFighters and the G3MF (both old AH-Squads I used to fly with!) <S>... InCrypt
L39s ?
Beautifully flown! Really smooth and pleasurable. Nice work!
Beautiful CT-133 in the lead!
My heart was pounding and I could feel the G's on the pitch up turn....whew!
is that GNS430 inside of the cockpit ?
Yep, looks like it
Yes. Two GNS430s stacked vertically.
Wow, that's nuts, I didn't know the L-39 ADI is ass-backwards, the airplane symbol moves while the horizon stays. Wasn't sure if I saw a sky pointer.
Russians man, Russians....
Yes, Russian attitude indicators have a horizon that moves up and down to indicate pitch, but they stay fixed in the roll axis. The bank angle is indicated by the airplane symbol itself banking. It's an acquired taste, for sure! There is no sky pointer.
That threw me for such a loop when I saw it! I would not like flying with that, it's so counter-intuitive! LOL
What camera are you using for this, the video looks great!
Thanks! It's just a GoPro3 Black camera on a generic swiveling suction cup mount.
Great video. I always like seeing the Highs and Lows of flight.
So cool to get a cockpit show I watched from the ground... thanks for sharing!
1:04 FIFI!!!!!! and also the L-39's are sweet!
there are b-29 bomber.
Is the L-39 air conditioned at all?
yes
How awesome. Seeing the bird and the plane in the same video was pretty cool.
great video ,lm sure got were surprised to see the plane. looks like you get long range well done
nice
Sweet. Glad this was so well filmed so that we could get a little bit of the enjoyment
Você é muito bem-vindo!
Obrigado pela carona Man!:))
Obrigado pela carona Man!:))
perfect camera placement
Thanks! I've just started enjoying your videos, too! Great stuff.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. If you decide to build one, I know you'll love the QAV400. It flies very well and provides a very stable video platform. It's like a magic carpet! :-)
Unusual soundtrack for such video ... but fitting so well. Thanks for your post, it makes me dream more and more of QAV4000 FPV flying. Maybe one day ! Greetings from the far west ...of France ;-)
great place to fly! well done
No offense taken whatsoever. I agree with you! I admire the guts it takes to fly over large bodies of open water... I'm not quite that brave yet. :-) Would love to see your footage.
Thank you for the kind comments. I enjoy your videos, too!
Very nice....
Nicely done. So smooth!
Yep, you're right about that. I don't have GPS, but I do have a 110 dB chirper attached to the balance lead of the battery. It would activate once the battery got down to 3.3V on any cell. So, assuming it stayed attached to the battery, I'd have to wait for a while before it started beeping, but I guess it's better than nothing. It will always be a little scary flying over inhospitable terrain. I don't know how people fly out over the ocean with their quads... :-)
Ah, just read the description lol.
Is that your G-suit making that noise in the turns?
Superb. I want one of them.
Great video! It's a privelage to say I have flown with Buck. A great airman and consummate gentleman.
I would be more than happy to show you the setup! (Rather than post my contact information here, feel free to contact me through the head of the flight school at the airport. She will know how to contact me.)
Thank you. Rob! You are, of course, my inspiration...
Beautiful flight. I like your smooth flying style.
Great video!! I wouldn't mind checking out your setup sometime if you don't mind!! Im usually in Poplar Grove almost every night..
Thanks. (Yes, a signal loss can really get your attention!) I flew this flight in Attitude mode. I'm beginning to explore the Rate mode a bit more. They are both useful in their own ways.
I like it! Very smooth and enjoyable to watch. Scary losing video feed;O -Atti or rate?
very nice so smooth
