Flight Training videos - Sim and real life!

Finless · 05-31-2006, 09:22 PM

OK I get asked all the time for flight training videos...
Please let me know if you think these are worth while, thoughts and suggestions, and if I should continue doing these?

NEW ADDED 9/17/2008!
Another "Stick Cam" video! - Tim Jones STICK CAM BABY! ENJOY!
VIDEO ->Buzzing the Border 2008 - Time Jones and my "Stick Cam" (86 Megs)

9/30/2007 - "STICK CAM" training video - Basic Loops, Rolls, and Flips
Video Link ->"Stick Cam" - Basic Loops, Rolls, and Flips (40 Megs)

9/2007 - Autos in real life with "STICK CAM" showing the sticks
First up is how to learn to do Auto Rotations in REAL LIFE.
It's how to shoot autos in REAL LIFE and I did a picture in picture showing my sticks while doing them. As you can see jamming the negative is NOT the key as this vid shows.
VIDEO -> Learning to shoot autos on a 450 and showing the sticks (39 Megs)

9/2007 - Jason Bell "STICK CAM" training videos
OK Jason gave me the opportunity to video him and use a second camera to video the sticks. Check out the "CRACK" Piro Flips, Rainbows, and Hurricanes!
Video Link ->Jason Bell "Stick Cam" - Buzzin the Border September 2007 (50 Megs)

Jason Bell doing Trex450 "STICK CAM" training
Video Link ->Jason Bell Trex450 with "Stick Cam" - (32 Megs)

9/2007 - Learning basic loops
Learning basic loops using the simulator (28 Megs)

Added 7/2006
BASIC hover training (19 Megs)

Auto training using the sim G2. G3.5 for some reason is not very realisitic in my opinion.
Learning to do Auto Rotations (17 Megs)

Next up...
Learning Forward flight and transition back to hover (19 Megs)

Great idea using the sim to demonstrate training videos Bob. The Audio is great and having the ability to see the sticks helps too.

Nice job Bob

Sim idea is excellent! Thanks!

rdlohr · 05-31-2006, 10:14 PM

You hit on a good approach bob. Keep making them on every flight trick. Us newbies will study them to death!

Thanks
Rick

Bob, very nice indeed! What model of heli are you using, and is that G2 or G3?

Finless · 05-31-2006, 11:07 PM

The simulator is G2 because I can record to AVI (movies) without a huge graphic loss to do so... (it's complicated). I also have G3 and Reflex but find recording to movies causes jerky movies....

The heli is part of add-ons 3 and that is the Raptor 60 with my own custom edited canopy

Finless · 05-31-2006, 11:23 PM

OK since people seem to like this format I will continue! I just posted a link to a vid on learning forward flight and transition to hover.

Again please..... Are these worth while?
