Straight off my recorder, because it just looks so much better, and smoother than after editing - Here is one of the best SINGLE flights I've ever had (next to the wind turbine video, that was just pure luck & stupidity).
Its just over 8 minutes, but very much watchable. Sorry, no music. More noteable parts:
0:45 - launch after messing around with ground station.
2:00 - some nice ridge following
4:20 - following roads
5:20 - eagle is intimidated by me
5:42 - spectator on top of the ridge has arrived
6:45 - buzz the spectator on top of the ridge
8:10 - touchdown and me satisfied with my adrenaline fix for the day
Feel free to post some of your best raw video flights - I know theres more out there... If possible, include some timeline references to favorite parts...

thank you! its a lot of fun to rip around when you have a good flying space. There was lots of obstacles to keep me entertained!
yes and no... its a lot easier to do things when you dont care if you destroy the plane the videos dont look nearly as good! Recommend having more than one fpv plane - a good one and one that you can bash!
Here's a raw flight I made a few months back, but I was bored, and its actually quite an exciting flight. Lots of low flying and some passes between the hills.
Skip to 0:45 if you dont like to wait
Noteable Parts:
2:05 - nice scenery...
2:30 - my best pass down the gauntlet, skim the top of the next hill... what a rush!
3:15 - high speed hill skimming
4:20 - setup for reverse gauntlet
5:28 - line up for another reverse gauntlet, but started flying down wrong hill, realise quickly before loss of LOS
6:05 - did it again! nearly lost LOS behind the hill
6:15 - line up AGAIN, this time Im in front of the hill and video fades - sound of motor disappears... UH OH! PULL UPPPP!!! Still in disbelief I recovered that.
6:53 - a few rolls cause Im happy I still have a plane
RAW, and Unedited, here is my multiple near death experience with my skyfun back in august.
Skip to 1:38 for launch.
The plan was to buzz the dam in the background, but I only got maybe 150-200m out and the plane started glitching and failsafe all over the place. Then the plan was to get back home in one piece, and almost ended up in the water a few times. I crashed anyways, but in a DRY place!
