Hi Howard,  planning to come but probably around 5 on Friday.  Gotta save money this year.

I'd like to fly rounds.

Here are some Speed Limit videos I shot on Saturday, May 3rd.
Pardon the peanut gallery. Me, my wife and son jabbering in the background. Plus a bonus visitor at one point.

Full screen works more smoothly if you click the gear icon after the movie starts, and select 480p resolution. Also better if you click the Youtube icon first and watch it directly on the 'Tube.

Some good combat flying there.   Had to go to You Tube itself to watch them though.

Good stuff, Rusty, What did you shoot that with?

That's an inexpensive Samsung point and shoot party camera. But it has 10X optical zoom, 14megapixels and will take 10 minutes of video at a time until the card is full. About $150 bucks several years ago. I'm sold on Samsung. That's what almost all of my flying videos are on.

It always works better if you click over to Youtube, especially for full screen stuff. I used Windows Movie Maker to lower the resolution on the second two videos after I realized how big the first two files were, that smooths out the viewing experience too.
