      Evening Captain! 🫡
      Yeah, err you gotta be worried when your untrained passenger picks up on your mistakes!!! 😂
      I’m glad you think the quality is improving 😊👍🏼
      I’ve got some older content that I’ll be posting over the next few weeks so will be taking a ‘step back’ in quality for some of the coming videos. But learning more & more as I go 👍🏼
      Lee is definitely worth the visit, but maybe don’t pick such a busy day (like a sunny bank holiday 🤦🏻‍♂️)! A good experience irrespective though!
      Hope to see you soon 👨🏼‍✈️

    Well the 360 is a very welcome addition from a viewer's point of view. It's clear that it provides some great flexibility for shots in the position you've mounted it. It definitely adds a greater sense of exposure to the views and the ground features, and the beauty of that lovely day certainly comes across, too! Great stuff - thank you! 🙂

    • @FlyingDarkLord
      @FlyingDarkLord  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s useful to know, thanks so much 😊👍🏼
      I don’t like the fisheye effect it can sometimes produce but I felt it was a positive addition & the wing seems like the best position.
      Grateful for your feed back 👍🏼🥳

    • @clearprop
      @clearprop 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@FlyingDarkLord I agree with the fisheye effect. Some people go 'extreme' with that and I don't feel it adds anything, but each to their own of course. I assume the effect is managed via the software? Anyway, you've kept it to a minimum here so that the feeling of having multiple moving cameras is achieved.

    • @FlyingDarkLord
      @FlyingDarkLord  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It is software managed, I’m still getting to grips with it & feel happy with it as an adjunct to the other views I have 😊👍🏼

      I learn something new with each video I make.
      This weekend was the first for the wing mount 360.
      I’ve got some older content I’ll be posting, but that will be with the original format.
      I think I’ll keep using the 360 on the wing now, it gives great flexibility 😊

      It certainly has, the Solent never looked so good! 😂

    Fantastic videos sir and looks like such good fun. I have two questions: Does Jimmy like flying and is the plane left hand drive only ... ? 😀

    • @FlyingDarkLord
      @FlyingDarkLord  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      😄 thank you sir & good to see you today 👍🏼
      Jimmy sleeps when we’re flying & seems happy to settle quickly once he has his headset on!
      The aircraft can be flown from either seat as the controls are identical on each side, although it is traditional to fly from the left (port) seat. Having said that, there are some pilots that prefer to fly from the right 🤷🏻‍♂️
      Glad you enjoyed the videos & looking forward to perhaps seeing some of yours with views of the Italian coastline 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

    Been doing some light reading about Stoney Cross, it must have been a heck of an installation when it was fully operational. I always get a bit sad seeing aeronautical infrastructure demolished and disused tbh... BUT even now it sure makes a very recognisable WP :) Also I know where I'd try to set it down if problems would arise...

    • @FlyingDarkLord
      @FlyingDarkLord  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It has a superb rate of climb compared to other light aircraft.

      The MissionaryBushPilot in PNG often shows his dashboard, it 's fun to follow the flight with one eye on the numbers. I fly a Storch : alone 800 ft per minute, maybe 1000, but that is the absloute maximum. @@FlyingDarkLord
