You’re in town? You should stop by. You should stop by Steve’s, too, but his house is hard to find, even with a GPS.
OK. So your uniflow line is fixed inside of a metal tank? I am looking for a 4-4-4 or 4-2-4 stunt run with mostly 46la’s and Brodak 40’s and am just learning. With my set up I do get 10-12 lean laps at the end after the pattern is complete. My fixed uniflow line is bent to angle to the outboard wall of the tank and i have had some luck twisting it to move the end up or down to get even runs right side up and upside down. The method you described, sounds better and simpler, but I would have to start making tanks

I know there are a few commercial tanks (thinking Brodak) that claim to be uniflow, and maybe are to a point, but I have no idea what is going on inside. In any event they wouldn't be doing what I'm after so get a good soldering iron/pencil (not gun), some copper tubing and tin stock. After you make a few it only takes a couple hours to make exactly the tank you want. Maybe our buddy Sparky can rig you up a carbon tank with my plumbing (hint, wink, nod !)
Hello everybody,
With some help from Niklas Löfroth and with his permission to use the videos he recorded at the contest, I hereby present the same videos with motion traces and Augmented-Reality geometry including the Nominal Figures of each maneuver per FAI F2B Rules. The videos were traced using a pre-release version of VideoF2B software, originally conceived and implemented by Alberto Solera in 2018, as announced here on StuntHangar. I took great interest in the project, and have been actively developing this software into a user-friendly product since 2020. Version 0.6 will be officially released very soon. Watch this other thread for those news.
In the meanwhile, enjoy the results of our collaboration on a global scale!
The videos include flights from the top 15 F2B pilots in the world in 2022. There will be a total of 45 videos.
I have posted Round 1 of the Finals so far -- 15 flights. More will appear in the same playlist in the near future as time allows me to process them, one round at a time.
The scores from the contest are publicly available here. Note that I am presenting the flights in the order they were flown, according to the F2B Fly-off Schedule.
With no more ado, here is the VIDEO PLAYLIST.
I'll be happy to entertain any questions about the video tracing process and the software in this thread or in PM/email.
Cheers,
-Andrey
