The view from following a Supercub in flight

[smokescreen38]

This is the video I took yesterday afternoon with my EDVR 5in1 USB stick camera on board a small foam glider as it was yanked around the sky by my old reliable Supercub.

The video quality is a bit better in the original file

This was my first try with this setup... It worked fairly well so for the next try I will be brave enough to fly even higher and to do some more interesting flying.

Two things to look for- Watch for the loop right around the 3:25 mark and right before the landing, there is about one frame that captured my buddy's cub in the sky above. ;D

Enjoy

Ok ... that officially qualifies as one of the coolest AP videos I've seen yet.

How can you beat chase-cam footage? I felt like I was playing a video game.

Totally agree.

Thanks for joining up Smokescreen38 and sharing that footage.

Heh, mount some gun replicas on the nose of the glider, and with the right music sound track you could pass this off as a dogfight video.

Some good suggestions there. Thanks for the compliments!

That was too cool. Great job!

I wouldn't mind seeing any pics of how it connects and what the glider itself looks like with the camera mounted.

I had seen that video before being directed to it by this thread and it is still the first video I think of when I think SC. Funny thing is the day I bought my first SC at the LHS I bought my 3yr old son one of those exact foam gliders. My father and I even joked about towing it. Small world except you actually did it. Awesome.
