Adding hours and testing camera mount

I have done a few hours flying since the last update. The engine is running well. I get the feeling it is running smoother – I should say even smoother – than in the beginning. Even if it is delivered “broken in” some extra hours doesn’t hurt apparently. It remains very responsive and very precise. Take off performance is very good with 7-8 m/s (1400-1600 ft/m) initial climb without pushing the limits.
To keep you entertained while accumulating engine hours to report I have done another short film. It is mainly testing the mount for my new POV camera so you have to excuse the slight self centric aspect of a pilot filming himself flying… I hope to do better next time.

The POV camera used is a Drift innovation HD 1080p with the provided remote control (the little red dot you can see on the frame is a led indicating that the camera is rolling). In this film I have tested both 1080 and 720 resolution, as well as 30 and 60 frames per second. The conclusion to be used in future attempts is 720/60.
