Red face Too excited

Hi All ,I recently got a key chain cam. I went to fly this am and started with spitfire to warm up doing slow head height passes . It started to drizzle so landed and got Corsair out with cam on wing. A quick intro to camera explaining short flight in rain then off and away. Excellent flying towards me and low and slow to see the scenery. Landed in proper rain then went to switch cam off only to realise I had n't turned it on properly
cheers
Paul

Well it turns out I had turned camera on after all , it also filmed the journey home in the car and an hour of the wall at home where the Corsair lives. Actual flight footage not great. Here's some from this morning

Pdel007, dont put yourself down 8, good footage and not to bad flying. Id be well pleased with that. I have 2 cheap mini cams and have had nothing but interference on vids with wavey lines ect. Have now splashed out £60 on a flycam2, but on trials in the bedroom with lipo in and cam slung underneath, no wavey lines or vibrations but very dark. Im hoping on a clear sunney day it will be much beter Qual.

Never mind, why not put up the footage of the wall too? They'll be someone on YouTube who likes walls, no doubt

I had a gig years ago that I dearly wished we had taped, but the guy we left with the recorder left the pause button down instead ... grrr! You've already improved on that
