Flying the Badius

Playing with different camera angles with my key chain cam on the accipiter badius.
Gonna have to work on smoother flights. I get nervous when it gets too far from me so I tend to be turning a lot. Have to work on that.

That's sure a great way to see if there is any flutter in your control surfaces. Great day for flying.

Nice flying fire.

Don't worry about keeping the plane too close. Especially at this point in your flying. That's the best plan.

Like Nightflyer says, "You can't fly it if you can't see it." Maintaining a reasonable distance between you and the plane ensures that you will be less likely to lose your orientation. As you let the plane get farther out it's fairly easy to lose it in some views, backgrounds and lighting conditions. Don't ask me how I know this for a fact.

Thanks, I had fun that day. No unintended landings like last time out.
It was a nice day for flying, a little gust of wind here and there to keep me on my toes but nothing unmanageable.
