When the short version played Saturday there were many 'oooohs and aaaah's. Very entertaining!
 
For those of you who did not make it to BACFest and the Able Island fly out, it was a very humbling experience. The field was long enough, but it did not look it. It had very large trees and houses at the approach end so planes had to fly over them and then sink quickly to the runway. Many of us had a bounce that was disappointing. However, when I departed we were almost tossed into the sky after going through a dip. We felt and saw it, but it was not apparent on the video. We now think that a lot of the landing bounces were from one or two dips in the runway that were not apparent to the naked eye until we went over them. It was entertaining and you will enjoy the video even if you were not there.
 
I think that this video is a great instruction tool for those of us that took part. When you look at the video I bet that most of us will be very happy to see how it looked compared to how it felt! But once over that, we can all look at our landings with a sharp eye. Did your approach path and descent angle compare to most?
Did you land on your main gear and keep your nose in the air till you slowed?
Did your speed seem appropriate, or did you float a long way?
When ( not if!) you took a little bounce, did you keep attitude and let it settle?
I bet that most of us are our own worst critics but we can put it to use on these rare occasions that we get an outside view.
 
Or better yet, Paul ....... another question .....

Can I edit out my landing???? Dude!

(actually, this was one of the many highlights we all experienced)

That was a good landing and fun music. That's the kind of music that makes you say 'no, please put me back on hold a few more minutes'
 
Maybe they can come up with a fee for the club so we can make the video publicly available? Denis, any chance you can see if they might have a number in mind? I'd rather not have a DVD, but I'd have it on a USB drive. None of my computers have a DVD any longer and I think the DVD player to the TV has been disconnected... No more disks any longer...all streaming video at home... My how times have changed...

I will call them
 
If it turns out that for a fee there is an option for group use instead of us each buying a disc you can have my $25 applied toward the group fee.
 
I'd put my $25 in toward any fee that they wanted for the digital format. Denis, they did a wonderful job with the video as well as editing and putting things to some music. Well done and quite a bit of work for them to turn it all around within 24 hours.
 
copy of my post to another thread 2 minutes ago asking about a club version of the video:

"I am catching up on my paperwork, and was about to order the video when I remembered this thread.

Is there any update on a club version? or shall I just go ahead and send them my $25?

DD"
 
Derick, I know that JP arranged for the club to own the rights to the video and the pictures, but I haven't seen anything on how to down load it. Maybe JP will reply to this thread.
