  1. I'd prefer to spend under $250 if possible
  2. As well as that, if anyone has information for when you don't have the land (such as leasing land at an airfield), I'm also interested. (sorry for potentially hijacking your threat Vorticity)
  3. Does it bother you not having a screen to check videos and setup angles and such? I hadn't thought of sticking it on the windscreen. I was considering sticking it to the RHS door, so then you can see me plus out the windscreen...
  4. Awesome thanks. I wouldn't get the HD one (can't afford it) but I can get the standard motorsport one (with some stands and stuff) for $220. The quality looks really good for a camera that small. Not so sure about the fact it takes AAA batteries though, see that getting expensive I can. I guess you can get rechargeable ones though?
  5. The GoPro cameras look pretty good (the non-HD ones, can't afford the HD ones), anyone got any opinions?
  6. So you've worked out what we were talking about now have you? (and NO it is not for that!) I was wondering about the headset but I thought it was only input, rather than output. Any ideas anyone? (I have a Zulu btw) How stable is that? It looks a bit like it'd be in danger of toppling over every time you decided to turn...
  7. Hi gang, It seems that lots of people are mounting video cameras to take videos of their flights. While I wouldn't be doing it dual, I will (if nothing untoward happens) be licenced in the nearish future and rather like the idea of putting a camera somewhere in the cockpit to record flights. I definitely don't want to mess around putting cameras on the outside of the aircraft though. So, a few questions: What sort of camera do you use? I don't own a video camera so would be looking at making a purchase, so advice would be good. Nothing too expensive, but I'd like one that does reasonable/good quality videos. I found an oldish thread talking about 'GoPro Hero', are they still recommended? Any ideas about how/where to mount it? It'd be in a J160 (at the moment anyway) and I'd like to put it somewhere inside the cockpit. Maybe on the dash? Or clipped onto the back of the RHS seat? Ideas (and ways of actually mounting it) would be good :) Is there any way of adding audio input (i.e. radio calls) and is it even worth trying to? Or is it just a waste of time bothering with extra cables and such? Any help or advice would be appreciated, thanks all :)
  8. Oh that sucks Doof doof music is hideous, and twice as hideous at 5am! Please do send me some pics! I've been sick for the last week and a half and thought I was getting better...until this morning where I got worse again (sigh). Very bad timing.
  9. Hope the people who went had a good time, today my body decided that it was a good day to get sick, great timing i_dunno so I didn't make it
  10. Hi there :) From your name, I'm guessing we have another Hitchhikers fan on here?
  11. Looking at your name, you should have a chat with another member here, Slartibartfast :laugh:
  12. Thanks Sue, but I think I might just drive myself down because I might be leaving earlier to get home and do some of the studying I should be doing instead of going to Tyabb Thanks for your offer though and maybe I'll see you there :)
  13. I've done that too, said 'wunway one eight' and I could see my instructor look sideways at me just after I said it, prolly thinking :raise_eyebrow:i_dunno
  14. I think I'll probably drive down and take a look....I can keep myself company for a day I reckon :big_grin: (who needs other people, when there are aircraft around? ) Might see you there Wigg :)
  15. I'll put in the entire 40L in my petrol tank
  16. I'm tossing up whether to drive down to Tyabb tomorrow (18th) for the airshow. Anyone planning to go?
  17. :thumb_up:
  18. :thumb_up::thumb_up::big_grin:
  19. Hiya FlightyGirl, good to have another girl on board :thumb_up: You said that The Cheetah wasn't atttractive? That was brave! :stirring pot: (teehee)
  20. Happy Birthday Cam :)
  21. Thanks guys, I had a feeling there might be different ones
  22. If I remember rightly (which I may not be so people are welcome to correct me) the frequency for Melbourne Centre is 135.70
  23. ...Ahlocks...
  24. We've come out to watch the local Historical Reenactment Society. A bit disappointing - they're doing last Tuesday.
  25. 75% of statistics are made up on the spot
