Glider Video Facing Backwards
Our club (http://skysoaring.com) owns a ex-military L-19/O-1 "Bird
Dog". Nice and powerful two seat-er. It has one other interesting attribute. Due to it being an observation plane, the rear stick can be removed and the rear seat back repositioned so that the passenger can face backwards. This is great to view a glider takeoff. Here is my first attempt at taking a video through the rear window, all set to music. I reduced the ~10 min tow to ~2 minutes. http://derosaweb.net/aviation/videos I need to see if I can rig up a tripod rather than hand hold the camera. No, I wasn't playing the guitar while filming. Thanks, John DeRosa |

Glider Video Facing Backwards
I'm not sure a tripod would help; engine vibration and rough air would
each introduce more bouncing around. An electronic stabilizer is probably the best bet. At 18:41 21 November 2008, wrote: Our club (http://skysoaring.com) owns a ex-military L-19/O-1 "Bird Dog".
