Videos

A few videos made during the trip.
IF YOU ONLY WANT TO VIEW A FEW, VIEW THE 5 FIRST, THEY ARE SPECTACULAR, the other videos are bonus images for you to enjoy.

FIRST, a very short, 6 seconds only, a view of elephants by the river.

SECOND, another short video of a "curved" landing, a very short curved approach and landing, a technique to use of the final is obstructed, and you need to come in from the side

THIRD, a sequence where low flying is on the menu. I film the other pilot on the course as he flies under a power cable which was just on the north side of the runway.
This sequence is see from outside of the airplane, as I film it from the ground. The first seconds is showing a fly by over the house, followed by the low pass under the power cables.

FOURTH, the same sequence but filmed by this same pilot with his GroPro camera, from inside the airplane, quite impressive also.

this video no. 4 has a problem to upload...... maybe it will appear later on if I can solve the issue.

FIFTH, a very short video of a spin training. Filmed from the ground, it was very difficult to focus on the airplane which was very high in the sky, for obvious safety reasons. (I had a very small portable camera...)
The first part of the spin can clearly be seen, and then visual contact with the plane was lost. But all ended well.

Now the bonus videos

Here an extreme short field landing.
See the airplane coming in for landing, and before reaching the ground, it is kept on a flare, 1-2 meters over the ground, full flaps, full power, until the plane reaches the "numbers", at which moment flaps retracted and power goes to idle, and the plane "lands" with the feet on the brakes, and stops in less than 100 meters. (the PET bottles on the side of the runway are the 100 meters mark).
Not very gentle for the plane, but effective if in an emergency you need to land on a very short distance.

This is a short field, simulated soft field take off, with flaps being pulled on the roll out, the nose wheel pulled up and a flare along the runway while gaining speed

there are more videos that will be posted later on, come back to visit and enjoy
