Alright... here it is... maiden flight was boring... that's why it didn't get a video thread... however... this is the best flying I've done yet!... 

This is video of my first time really stretching out and getting a feel for the Bumblebee quad. When I fly this quad it feels as if I somehow magically became better at flying. This was my first time building my own quad and it's been a simply incredible experience. If you're looking for relaxing laid back flying this isn't the video for you.

Note... I am genuinely disappointed in youtube (I only ever use the word disappointed when I mean it)... how much it's degraded my video is huge... I really do have to learn how to do this better and I now understand what fftunes & oyvinia were trying to tell me in the other thread

Music (2 songs)

1st Song:
Title: Flight of the bumblebee (Carl.Vegas FPV Remix)
Author: Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov
(late 1800s), remixed... Just before this video was posted (last few days)

2nd Song
Title: Techno Fair
Author: Carl.Vegas
2002-2004 (multiple renditions over those years)... my personal favorite of all songs I've ever composed. It goes well with flight of the bumblebee

Wow!  Wow!  You've got some insane moves there Carl - Loved every minute of it!!   (thanks)

the bubblebee music definitely makes your flying seem faster haha
great video and flying!

Thanks! I have had a blast learning this stuff and yesterday showed me just how far I've really come. I am very proud of this video. Here I started out really wanting to learn racing but I am kind of having fun with freestyle

Great video Carl! Quality is sharp. Did you change any settings on your RunCAM or are you on stock?

Runcam is recording 720p @ 60 FPS... using the full 1080 was too much for my computer and I wouldn't be able to edit.

This time I rendered to different settings which looked great on my computer but at first didn't look clear on youtube... I guess they still must do extra processing after the fact because it looks much better this morning.

Yes, depending on video codec and lenght it can take quite a while for youtube to convert it for all the variants... i usually notice it because the flash player pops up instead of the browser embedded one.

Btw, can totally feel (and see) your excitement, enjoying the hangtime.

Hmmm. I'll have to see if I can notice that. I am glad that the feeling comes across...
