MOVIE CLIPS

(These movies were produced using Microsoft Movie Maker. The 320x240 size will run better on slower computers or those with limited bandwidth for downloading. Most of the movies are also available in 640x480 resolution, when the original was taken in that size on the Canon S3 IS digital camera. I usually recommend right-clicking on the link, choose save to disk, and play the video ouside the browser.)


Iowa's Primo. A new profile design from the designer of the world-famous Mojo, Paul "Swany" Swanson. Built from a kit. 40-sized, powered by a YS 63 4-stroke glow motor. A great flying plane!

Friday night foamies under the lights, but early enough for the sky to have some glow left. Pilots are Iowa, Jeff Paul, and Mark Custard.
1:49 minutes (320x240 - 4.4MB) (640x480 - 10.0MB)

John "Sparky" Wells and his 67" OMP Fusion. It was an awesome flying bird... was! It suffered a mid-air later in the day (no, this vid does NOT contain the mid-air). This video shows some of the great flying it was doing... but does include a close call with the eventual killer.

John Wells' Katana 70. Preferred by kittens everywhere. :-) There were some stray kittens at the field and one of them took a real liking to John's Katana. Cat... Kat... perfectly natural. :-) A pic of the kitten in question, sitting on the wing of the Kat70... is included in this video. You can hear them meow occasionally in the other videos. Worry not... they were adopted before the day was over.
3:24 minutes (320x240 - 8.6MB) (640x480 - 18.8MB)

1:40 minutes (320x240 - 7.7MB) (640x480 - 16.1MB)


A short clip of gary flying his MOJO 40. Gary must have crashed one of Troy's planes... because Troy gives Gary a hard time.
0:41 minutes (320x240 - 3.7MB) (640x480 - 7.5MB)


Troy's 29% Fiber-Lite Edge 540. A great flying plane! 14 pounds with enough wing area to give it almost profile-like performance. Powered by a DA-50 gas engine.

3:53 minutes (320x240 - 11.6MB) (640x480 - 26.0MB)


Saturday night foamies under the lights. I should rename it Saturday Night Thunderbirds... as there were three or four of them flying at once. Pilots were Troy Hamm, Gary Seeloff, Dave McDDD, and others. The music wasn't added... it came from a portable CD player that Troy brought. I sat behind it and filmed the action. Includes violations of the poor cameraman... even crashing into him!
4:41 minutes (320x240 - 7.4MB) (640x480 - 19.8MB)
