Nice recovery and 3 very good, no-bounce landings. :) I sometimes lose orientation with my Avanti V1 or my Freewing L39 with the white paint scheme with cloudy skies so I know that feeling. :)
Thank you very much for visiting my channel and leaving your very appreciated comment 😁 Losing orientation is the worst that could ever happen to an RC pilot... It is a horrible feeling... It happened to me again with my new Freewing F-18 Hornet Blue Angels 90mm but not as dramatic as this one... That plane disappears in the sky quickly... I'm going to program SAFE on all my planes with hard to see paint designs to avoid an imminent crash due to the loss of orientation... 😁 Have a great rest of your night 🌙 Thanks again for your comment 😊 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌵 🦠 😷 🇵🇷

The camera men did a great work there making as feel you Avanti was "grounded" but you got away from that! It was a difficult indeed to say and probably it´s better to always tell the model what it should do as to wait and see. Because if you don´t see good you are done... This video makes me thought more about it and it´s true. When you fly the model without stalling her you always will know what she is doing regardless of how quick or twitchy she is. I was very afraid of flying after I crashed my first to jets on the beginning of march but now I´m a bit surprised of how much confidence I have. After those crashes my mind almost made me loose orientation just because I was afraid that could happen again. But the behavior can be foreseen. For me I´ll try to fly not so far away and were the light is better. But there are always situation were the light does not help, or maybe the model begins to stall and you loose orientation... Maybe it´s just a lottery hahahahahaha too much philosophy for today :P
Your passion for the hobby will make you an excellent pilot in no time, my friend...😁👍🏾 You should see my beginnings in the hobby about 11 years ago, flying an E-flite Apprentice S... Those videos are on my channel... If you ever watch them, you'll see that you are flying much better now than I used to fly back then...

@ricardopr54 when I get older I want to be just like you Mr Ricky Magic 🪄 Sticks :))) Thanks for your kind words! I was thinking of my thoughts the last days and I think I need to reassess them. Sometimes there are factors like wind and front light that may make you loose 💯 % of orientation of the plane although you are flying it. I have that problem doing turns in the west when the sun is on that side or has gotten down. I think the hobby will never end to trigger my nerves on every day I fly. But that makes it interesting and amazing :)) On Saturday I had some fun crashes 😆 one I almost hit a friend doing high alpha shenanigans and stalling my F-16 64mm 5S and before I was loosing altitude on my 70mm F-16 -thinking to make an emergency landing on the rough field nearby- then regaining lift and speed, speed up full throttle around 1,5m over the ground and boom 💥 I was so concentrated on the model I did not see a bush on the way 😆 But it wasn’t broken too much. That’s a tank I say 😆 🤣

This is why I prefer the FMS Avanti 70 mm. It has that white finish with red and blue stripes. Easy to see against a blue sky. I do agree that the grey paint of the Freewing version makes it disappear.
Thank you very much for visiting my channel and leaving your much-appreciated comment. 😊 That was my first impression of this jet back then... The jet simply disappears into the blue sky... That's why nowadays I do have AS3X+/SAFE programmed onto this jet... Having SAFE gives you peace of mind should you ever lose orientation again... The same thing happens with the Freewing F-18 90mm Blue Angels...That's another jet that also vanishes into the blue sky and desperately needs AS3X/SAFE modes available for peace of mind...

Hola Ricky Ricardo, pues que genial vídeo nuevamente. "Conchesumadre" (se diría en Chile)... hasta yo me puse nervioso con esa pérdida de orientación... pensé que ya estaba en el suelo, pues bien que has tenido bastante altura. Lindos vuelos también con la Viper 90. Cómo anda ésta Avanti en comparación a la Viper 90 de FMS? Me gustan ambos jets y en los próximos meses quizás me adjudico alguno de esos dos. La Avanti me costaría bastante menos, como unos 400 dolares en vez de los 550 de la Viper. Claro el tamano y el color de la Viper me gustan bastante, pero nunca la he visto en vivo. Aquí en Alemania no está. Lo importante es que el empuje sea bastante fuerte y que pueda despegar rápido pues tenemos un pasto no muy perfecto en nuestra pista, pero creo que ambos modelos podrían volar bien aquí.... Que tengas un lindo fin de semana en Arizona (muy linda vuestra pista!) Saludos desde Grafing, Alemania
Muchísimas gracias por haber visitado mi canal y haber dejado tu muy apreciado comentario. 😁 La verdad es que a mí me encantan ambos jets. El Avanti es una bala en el aire, es muy veloz... El Viper es un poco más grande y usa una turbina eléctrica más grande. Con cualquiera de los dos jets quedarás muy satisfecho. La verdad que no te sabría decir si esos jets son buenos para pistas de pasto, pero creo que si el pasto está bien recortadito, vas a estar bien... Muchísimas gracias de nuevo por el comentario, hermano latino. Que tengas un excelente resto de tu noche 🌙👍🏾Saludos desde Douglas, Arizona 🌵 👍🏾🌵😁🤪
Hola Ricky@@ricardopr54 ! Me imagino que ambos son geniales :) Un amigo también está interesado en la Futura 80 que al parecer es un pelito más rápida que la Avanti. Pero es más cara, por lo menos aquí en Alemania también. Muchas gracias por el comentario y recomendación. Saludos hoy desde Munich a Douglas! Caramba, ahora veo que la frontera con México pasa por medio de la ciudad... ninguna había mirado en detalle la zona. He encontrado vuestra pista de aterrizaje rectangular en el aeropuerto local. Está genial! :)
@@ficosk8 Asibes amigo, el Futura 80mm es un avión muy veloz...Casi tan veloz como el Avanti, y creobqvtienes razón, es un poco mas rápido. Un amigo lo tiene. Con cualquiera de los los dos aviones estarás muy complacido. Un saludo desde Douglas, Arizona 🌵 🌵👍🏾😁🇵🇷
Hoy mismo un piloto en nuestro campo de modelos estrelló su F-22 de 64 mm. Fue un día nublado con cielos grises. Como sabemos, el F-22 tiene ese mismo color. El piloto perdió la orientación en ese cielo de color idéntico al jet y se estrelló en los árboles. Solo resultaron los estabilizadores rotos pero el resto del modelo estaba intacto. El piloto entró en picada, tal como en el video del Avanti, pero no se pudo reponer. Hay ciertos modelos que solo se pueden volar en ciertas condiciones. El F-22 necesita cielos azules para que no se vaya a perder. El Avanti 80 lo quería comprar pero ese esquema rojigris se pierde en cielos azules. De ahí que prefiera el Avanti 70. En cuanto al Avanti vs. Viper, he volado los dos (70 mm). El Viper 70 es muy propenso a entrar en pérdida lateral (tip stall) con gran facilidad, pero vuela muy bien siempre y cuando no vueles lento ni hagas maniobras muy bruscas-es propenso a entrar en pérdida acelerada. En cambio el Avanti es mucho menos propenso a ese tip stall debido al diseño de las alas (las barreras en las alas). Por lo tanto es much más fácil de aterrizar. El Viper es muy my muy muy propenso a entrar en pérdida. Lo que me sorprende de los dos aviones (Avanti y Viper) es que, para ser EDFs, son muy silenciosos. En cambio mi T-45 70 mm suena mucho más cercano a una turbina.
Lamento mucho q a tu amigo se le haya estrellado su avión... X eso mencioné q es bueno tener un receiver con SAFE mode para q en caso de perder orientación al menos puedas salvarlo... 😊👍🏾 En cuanto al Viper, a mi me encanta ese avion, y tienes muchísima razón en todo lo q comentaste. El secreto del Viper es mantener velocidad en las vueltas (turns) x q si volteas muy lento entrada en perdida(stall) y se te pudiera eatrellar... Aquí comparto un video de mi Viper 90mm Non-USA Version... Espero q sea de tu agrado...🤞🏾 ua-cam.com/video/IFYz0925d24/v-deo.htmlsi=731zyV2IrKHpjcPX Q tengas un excelente resto de tu noche 🌙 Saludos desde Douglas, Arizona 🌵 👍🏾 😁 🇵🇷
Muchísimas gracias x haber visitado mi canal y dejado tu muy apreciado comentario hermano 😁 Muchas gracias también x tus palabras...Tuve mucha suerte de salvation ese avión en el último segundo... Yo ta estaba esperando el sonido del avión estrellandose contra el suelo x que lo perdí de Vista detras de la línea de arboles, y de repente lo vi subir y seguir volando como si nada hubiera sucedido...entonces me dije a mi mismo, eso fue un milagro, y lo segui volando normalmente en lo q pasaba el susto. Luego de eso ya me lo traje para aterrizar...Aun yo mismo no puedo creer q eso hubiera sucedido, y q ni un raspasito le sucedió al avion... Yo estoy muy agradecido con Diosito x permitirme disfrutarlo un ratito mas...😊 De nuevo, muchísimas gracias x tu comentario y bienvenido al canal... Te invito a ver mis otros videos especialmente mi playlist de videos de Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 😁👍🏾Q tengas una excelente tarde hermano 👍🏾😊 Un saludo cordial desde Douglas, Arizona 🌵🦠😷🇵🇷 P.S.

Nice video and thank god for the great save :-) How would you compare the Avanti S V2 to the Viper 90 with regards to visibility in the sky, flight behaviour and flight speed ?
I happen to own both jets, and the Avanti S V2 is definitely faster. Check out the speed test videos of both planes in my channel... My Viper is the Non-USA Version from FMS and it is definitely way more visible than this new Avanti V2... The problem with the Avanti is that you can easily lose orientation and not knowing which side is up or down at certain moment. That's what happened to me on this video... Both jets are a beauty to fly. They both have great slow speed handling , but the Viper will abruptly stall and drop a wing on turns if you don't keep your speed up... I invite you to visit my channel again and check out their speed test flights... 😊 Thanks again for stopping by and leaving your very appreciated comment 👍🏾 🙂 Have a great rest of your day 😁👍🏾 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 👍🏾🌵🦠😷🇵🇷
@@ricardopr54 Hey Douglas, thx for the extra feedback. Went through your channel and looked at some more of your videos. Nice job :-) I saw that you also flew the Freewing F22 Raptor. How would you compare that jet to the Viper and Avanti ?
@PatrickVannie Thanks for visiting my channel again, Patrick... The F-22 is a completely different beast... I would say that it is my favorite between the three. I haven't done a speed test with my F22 yet, but I'll be working on that soon!... Of the three, I think that the Avanti is the easiest to fly, followed by the Viper then the F-22... Don't take me wrong, the F-22 is a beauty to fly, but it is an old still popular plane with some old school technology... The F-22 fights great. It is fast and sometimes behaves like a trainer aircraft... I like them all, but the Avanti V2 is the cheapest of the three and includes reverse thrust... It is hard to pick a favorite, but the Avanti V2 is the best bang for the buck 😊 Have a great rest of your night 🌙 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌙 🌵 🦠 😷 🇵🇷
Great flying and most importantly great save! This is where safe can save your bird, but there are just some people who would rather do the walk of shame with that big black plastic bag😮 not this guy. Again great save🎉
Thank you very much for your much appreciated comment, my friend 😊... You are 100% right. You have no idea how much I wished I had SAFE enabled in my plane when that situation happened to me! 😱 SAFE would've helped me to get out of that situation right away, but lamentably, I haven't learned how to program my spektrum receiver for SAFE yet🤦🏾♂️. My receiver only has AS3X enabled... I need to learn how to enable SAFE for sure... That will be my next project 🙏😊... Have a great day.😁 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌵 🦠 😷 🇵🇷

How long have you been flying? I'm going to guess about 6 months ? I'm fairly new... 3 years for me. Self taught. My new Avanti is due in a few days... can't wait.
Thank you very much for visiting my channel and leaving your question?... You were close with your guess, my friend... 10 years in the hobby here, lol... You can check my channel again and scroll back 10 years to my very beginnings when I was learning to fly with an Eflite Apprentice, not the S one, but the one without AS3X... Shortly after, AS3X came into the game, and I upgraded to the Apprentice S with SAFE technology... It's been a long learning journey, but guess what, in this hobby, you always learn something new... Even the "experts" crash every now and then...That's the "Dark side" of our hobby...😊 Again, Thanks for visiting my channel 😀 Have a great rest of your night 🌙 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌙 🌵 🦠 😷 🇵🇷

Yes it was very Stupid of FW to paint the plane Grey when all along they advertise it as White. Its even on the box picture when you receive it.. but then open the box and its Grey WTF. Had I known it was Grey I would not have bought this plane.
Thank you very much for visiting my channel and leaving your very appreciated comment. 😀 You are correct about the plane's color. Although, if you install a receiver with SAFE in it, you can at least have peace of mind that at the first sign of losing orientation, you can enable SAFE and literally save your plane from disaster...😁 That's what I did recently. At the time of this flight, I didn't know how to enable SAFE in my receiver. Thanks again for your comment.

Thank you very much for visiting my channel and leaving your very appreciated comment...😁 I totally agree with you. The new paint design on this Avanti S V2 is beautiful...😁 Have a great day 😁 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌵 🦠 😷 🇵🇷
Hola Ricky Ricardo, pues que genial vídeo nuevamente. "Conchesumadre" (se diría en Chile)... hasta yo me puse nervioso con esa pérdida de orientación... pensé que ya estaba en el suelo, pues bien que has tenido bastante altura. Lindos vuelos también con la Viper 90. Cómo anda ésta Avanti en comparación a la Viper 90 de FMS? Me gustan ambos jets y en los próximos meses quizás me adjudico alguno de esos dos. La Avanti me costaría bastante menos, como unos 400 dolares en vez de los 550 de la Viper. Claro el tamano y el color de la Viper me gustan bastante, pero nunca la he visto en vivo. Aquí en Alemania no está. Lo importante es que el empuje sea bastante fuerte y que pueda despegar rápido pues tenemos un pasto no muy perfecto en nuestra pista, pero creo que ambos modelos podrían volar bien aquí.... Que tengas un lindo fin de semana en Arizona (muy linda vuestra pista!)
Saludos desde Grafing, Alemania
Muchísimas gracias por haber visitado mi canal y haber dejado tu muy apreciado comentario. 😁 La verdad es que a mí me encantan ambos jets. El Avanti es una bala en el aire, es muy veloz... El Viper es un poco más grande y usa una turbina eléctrica más grande. Con cualquiera de los dos jets quedarás muy satisfecho. La verdad que no te sabría decir si esos jets son buenos para pistas de pasto, pero creo que si el pasto está bien recortadito, vas a estar bien...
Muchísimas gracias de nuevo por el comentario, hermano latino. Que tengas un excelente resto de tu noche 🌙👍🏾Saludos desde Douglas, Arizona 🌵 👍🏾🌵😁🤪
Hola Ricky@@ricardopr54 ! Me imagino que ambos son geniales :) Un amigo también está interesado en la Futura 80 que al parecer es un pelito más rápida que la Avanti. Pero es más cara, por lo menos aquí en Alemania también. Muchas gracias por el comentario y recomendación. Saludos hoy desde Munich a Douglas! Caramba, ahora veo que la frontera con México pasa por medio de la ciudad... ninguna había mirado en detalle la zona. He encontrado vuestra pista de aterrizaje rectangular en el aeropuerto local. Está genial! :)
@@ficosk8 Asibes amigo, el Futura 80mm es un avión muy veloz...Casi tan veloz como el Avanti, y creobqvtienes razón, es un poco mas rápido. Un amigo lo tiene. Con cualquiera de los los dos aviones estarás muy complacido. Un saludo desde Douglas, Arizona 🌵 🌵👍🏾😁🇵🇷
Hoy mismo un piloto en nuestro campo de modelos estrelló su F-22 de 64 mm. Fue un día nublado con cielos grises. Como sabemos, el F-22 tiene ese mismo color. El piloto perdió la orientación en ese cielo de color idéntico al jet y se estrelló en los árboles. Solo resultaron los estabilizadores rotos pero el resto del modelo estaba intacto. El piloto entró en picada, tal como en el video del Avanti, pero no se pudo reponer.
Hay ciertos modelos que solo se pueden volar en ciertas condiciones. El F-22 necesita cielos azules para que no se vaya a perder. El Avanti 80 lo quería comprar pero ese esquema rojigris se pierde en cielos azules. De ahí que prefiera el Avanti 70.
En cuanto al Avanti vs. Viper, he volado los dos (70 mm). El Viper 70 es muy propenso a entrar en pérdida lateral (tip stall) con gran facilidad, pero vuela muy bien siempre y cuando no vueles lento ni hagas maniobras muy bruscas-es propenso a entrar en pérdida acelerada. En cambio el Avanti es mucho menos propenso a ese tip stall debido al diseño de las alas (las barreras en las alas). Por lo tanto es much más fácil de aterrizar. El Viper es muy my muy muy propenso a entrar en pérdida.
Lo que me sorprende de los dos aviones (Avanti y Viper) es que, para ser EDFs, son muy silenciosos. En cambio mi T-45 70 mm suena mucho más cercano a una turbina.
Lamento mucho q a tu amigo se le haya estrellado su avión... X eso mencioné q es bueno tener un receiver con SAFE mode para q en caso de perder orientación al menos puedas salvarlo... 😊👍🏾
En cuanto al Viper, a mi me encanta ese avion, y tienes muchísima razón en todo lo q comentaste. El secreto del Viper es mantener velocidad en las vueltas (turns) x q si volteas muy lento entrada en perdida(stall) y se te pudiera eatrellar... Aquí comparto un video de mi Viper 90mm Non-USA Version... Espero q sea de tu agrado...🤞🏾

Brother!!! Me alegro que salvaste el avión!! Quién es la co-pilot? una barbie? lol Está hermoso el avión btw!
Muchísimas gracias x haber visitado mi canal y dejado tu muy apreciado comentario hermano 😁 Muchas gracias también x tus palabras...Tuve mucha suerte de salvation ese avión en el último segundo... Yo ta estaba esperando el sonido del avión estrellandose contra el suelo x que lo perdí de Vista detras de la línea de arboles, y de repente lo vi subir y seguir volando como si nada hubiera sucedido...entonces me dije a mi mismo, eso fue un milagro, y lo segui volando normalmente en lo q pasaba el susto. Luego de eso ya me lo traje para aterrizar...Aun yo mismo no puedo creer q eso hubiera sucedido, y q ni un raspasito le sucedió al avion... Yo estoy muy agradecido con Diosito x permitirme disfrutarlo un ratito mas...😊
De nuevo, muchísimas gracias x tu comentario y bienvenido al canal... Te invito a ver mis otros videos especialmente mi playlist de videos de Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 😁👍🏾Q tengas una excelente tarde hermano 👍🏾😊 Un saludo cordial desde Douglas, Arizona 🌵🦠😷🇵🇷
P.S.
Esa rubia es bien P**@...antes volaba con otro piloto, pero cdo vio este avión nuevo se bajo del avión viejito y rápido se subió a este... Aquí te envío evidencia😅

Nice video and thank god for the great save :-) How would you compare the Avanti S V2 to the Viper 90 with regards to visibility in the sky, flight behaviour and flight speed ?
I happen to own both jets, and the Avanti S V2 is definitely faster. Check out the speed test videos of both planes in my channel... My Viper is the Non-USA Version from FMS and it is definitely way more visible than this new Avanti V2... The problem with the Avanti is that you can easily lose orientation and not knowing which side is up or down at certain moment. That's what happened to me on this video... Both jets are a beauty to fly. They both have great slow speed handling , but the Viper will abruptly stall and drop a wing on turns if you don't keep your speed up... I invite you to visit my channel again and check out their speed test flights... 😊 Thanks again for stopping by and leaving your very appreciated comment 👍🏾 🙂 Have a great rest of your day 😁👍🏾 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 👍🏾🌵🦠😷🇵🇷
@@ricardopr54 Hey Douglas, thx for the extra feedback. Went through your channel and looked at some more of your videos. Nice job :-) I saw that you also flew the Freewing F22 Raptor. How would you compare that jet to the Viper and Avanti ?
@PatrickVannie Thanks for visiting my channel again, Patrick... The F-22 is a completely different beast... I would say that it is my favorite between the three. I haven't done a speed test with my F22 yet, but I'll be working on that soon!... Of the three, I think that the Avanti is the easiest to fly, followed by the Viper then the F-22... Don't take me wrong, the F-22 is a beauty to fly, but it is an old still popular plane with some old school technology... The F-22 fights great. It is fast and sometimes behaves like a trainer aircraft... I like them all, but the Avanti V2 is the cheapest of the three and includes reverse thrust...
It is hard to pick a favorite, but the Avanti V2 is the best bang for the buck 😊 Have a great rest of your night 🌙

Great flying and most importantly great save! This is where safe can save your bird, but there are just some people who would rather do the walk of shame with that big black plastic bag😮 not this guy. Again great save🎉
Thank you very much for your much appreciated comment, my friend 😊... You are 100% right. You have no idea how much I wished I had SAFE enabled in my plane when that situation happened to me! 😱 SAFE would've helped me to get out of that situation right away, but lamentably, I haven't learned how to program my spektrum receiver for SAFE yet🤦🏾♂️. My receiver only has AS3X enabled... I need to learn how to enable SAFE for sure... That will be my next project 🙏😊...
Have a great day.😁 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌵 🦠 😷 🇵🇷
nice camera work standing behind the pilot.

@@ricardopr54 a ver si saco un hueco y veo otros vídeos tuyos...parecen interesantes 🤗...te invito a mi canal también. Hay un poco de todo, algunos de aeromodelismo 💪
How long have you been flying? I'm going to guess about 6 months ? I'm fairly new... 3 years for me. Self taught. My new Avanti is due in a few days... can't wait.
Thank you very much for visiting my channel and leaving your question?... You were close with your guess, my friend... 10 years in the hobby here, lol... You can check my channel again and scroll back 10 years to my very beginnings when I was learning to fly with an Eflite Apprentice, not the S one, but the one without AS3X... Shortly after, AS3X came into the game, and I upgraded to the Apprentice S with SAFE technology... It's been a long learning journey, but guess what, in this hobby, you always learn something new... Even the "experts" crash every now and then...That's the "Dark side" of our hobby...😊
Again, Thanks for visiting my channel 😀 Have a great rest of your night 🌙 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌙 🌵 🦠 😷 🇵🇷
Thats some really good flying personally would have probably crashes
Thank you very much for visiting my channel and leaving your very appreciated comment 😊 I'm glad that you liked my video 😁
Txt day, I was lucky that I was able to save my brand new jet from disaster. You have no idea how much I wished my plane had SAFE enabled at that very moment, but I don't know how to program it, so my plane only has AS3X stabilization enabled...
Thanks again for stopping by and leaving your comment😊👍🏾 I invite you to check out my other videos whenever you have some spare time to kill😁
Have a great rest of your evening 👍🏾 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌵🦠😷🇵🇷
Clearly that you're new to this model or the hobby. You shouldn't be scared.
Thank you very much for visiting my channel and leaving your comment. Well, if 11 years in the hobby constitute being a beginner, then I'm guilty. Regarding the model, I had the original version in yellow before this one. Funny thing, I visited your channel, and your oldest video is about 3 years old. I never saw a video from you showing us how jets are to be flown, though!
I invite you to visit my channel again and check out my other videos... You can find my beginning ones that go back 11 years or so.
Have a great rest of your day 👍🏾

Yes it was very Stupid of FW to paint the plane Grey when all along they advertise it as White. Its even on the box picture when you receive it.. but then open the box and its Grey WTF.
Had I known it was Grey I would not have bought this plane.
Thank you very much for visiting my channel and leaving your very appreciated comment. 😀 You are correct about the plane's color. Although, if you install a receiver with SAFE in it, you can at least have peace of mind that at the first sign of losing orientation, you can enable SAFE and literally save your plane from disaster...😁 That's what I did recently. At the time of this flight, I didn't know how to enable SAFE in my receiver.
Thanks again for your comment. I invite you to visit my channel again and check out my other videos. 👍🏾😀 Have a great day! 😁 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌵👍🏾😁🇵🇷
You guys need to invest in a camera with a zoom lens
Thank you very much for visiting my channel and leaving your comment. Yes Sir, that would be great, although we are grateful for the volunteer work our friend performs with only a cellphone. Without that, there would be no videos of our flights at all.
Have a great day 👍🏾 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 👍🏾🌵🦠😷🇵🇷
Terrible 21 11
Thanks for visiting my channel and leaving your comment... 😁👍🏾
Very bad filming. Maybe get a video camera if you are going to film model aircraft.
I went to your channel to check out your expertise in video recording and editing, and guess what I found... Nothing because you don't even have videos on it that I could criticize...🤦🏾♂️ When you finally manage to produce anything productive on video, send me a link to learn how it is done according to you!... If you want to donate gear for our club, we would gladly accept that video camera you mentioned... 😁
