superb video, If I was in guam , the water is so transparent that I would spend hours and hours underwater !

there are not a lot of fields to land in case of a problem, good thing that your rotax is brand new and well installed !

I can't fait to see the rest of the island shore from the air

thx

Thx bro, those are just the same things I think about as well. 90 percent of the island is unlandable.
I will edit the rest of todays flight soon.

I'm happy to see some gyro stuff on this gyro forum!

Keep up with your maintenance! Gyros don't do well when you have to dunk them in the water. Ask me how I know. Man, you need an amphib.

It's funny how in my mind when I picture Guam it's still an airfield on a beach with a dozen military buildings surrounding it. Now it looks like a resort town.

I would not mind having pop out floats for safety like a helicopter but I have never seen those for gyros.
As for Guam, I would say it only looks that way because I flew over Tumon, the whole center of the island is still uninhabited jungle and mountains.
There is always gyro stuff being done, but a lot of the time the doers are busy doing!
I rarely fly with a camera and it just adds another level of pain in the butt when your already to relax after a flight and then you have to edit and upload the video...the fact that some people enjoy being youtubers still surprises me!

Great video Benry! Looks like a very scenic place to fly, glad you are in the air again.
Cool Helmet!
What Camera?
I am like you, editing video is not my favorite thing to do, I do not have enough time already, I have a hard time sitting at the computer and fighting with editing software, takes the fun out of it. Yes being a youtuber is lots of work.

I have been enjoying my Tango very much, I have not been on the forums very much lately, just don't have the time lots of other things are keeping me busy.

Howdy to all y'all rest of you guys too.

Top of the mornin to ya Els!
I was using my sons hero 7 black. He has many. But the 7 appears to be best suited to aviation...something to do with digital stabilisation and that they changed it for the worse on the 8?
I dunno.
What I DO know is I use the editing software so infrequently, when ever I click to open it I have to relearn it all over again each time! Sucks! Also the camera being out of arms reach means phone wifi activation and that means the first 15 min is burned up taxiing to the active!
It is sooo much easier to take a few min of whatsapp video on my phone and just post it but I guarentee if I pull my phone out of my pocket while flying Its gone...
Then I would never be able to check this board when I am shitting! :guam

I agree with you 100 percent!

I can never tell when the camera is on......

I thought about hooking up a camera with a usb power supply, and a switch, that way if you put the camera in driving mode it will come on when you flip the switch.

Of course I have not done it yet because then I would have to edit the video!
