El are you ready

[Ryhton]

Hey El the weekend is almost here, and was wondering if you had the Anti Christ all ready for her big event? Is the jump still going as planned?? Well give us the last minute update, can't wait to see the video, I know you will make use proud.

Just in case things don't quite go as planned, if you can't make us proud, at least make us laugh.
Looking forward to the vid. Good luck.

You should get several people with video cameras to shoot it at the same time. It would be great to the the Anti-Crash Landing in slow motion from different perspectives.

Good Luck.

I plan on using multiple video cameras from different angles. The placement will depend on the sun and lighting conditions. I am guessing I will only get one chance for this. One of my buddies stopped by tonight and was checking out the AC and noticed that the front chassis support had come loose from the ball joint.Upon fixing this I did a double check to make sure there was nothing that I missed. The AC is ready to fly tomorrow and fly she will. What happens after take-off is another story.

Since the NC folks will only be there Saturday I'll have to do the jump Saturday before they leave. Regardless of what happens it will be epic.

 

[Ryhton]

Cool thanks for the update El, and good luck tomorrow.

He made two attempts today....the end results were amazing to behold. Video and stills to come.

We'll see what he does for Day 2 of the bash.

 

[Nitro_Freak]

TELL US!!! i can't bear the suspense lol

 

[WA2FAST]

Alright man! Post that edited video and some pic's! I know you have already watched it a million times, share the good times man! I'm dying to see this thing.:cheeky:

 

[El Pirata]

I don't think there were any stills from either of the two attempts. I was able to see the footage that M&M shot today at the bash and I was impressed. I must say I am envious of the house jump because there was smooth asphalt for the approach. My approach was a bumpy one doing everything I could do to keep her under control and running at top speed.

The first attempt she got about 30' of vertical air and about the same distance. I was able to clear the fence and the road, just barely and landed on my lid. The second attempt saw the same height and distance but I can't remember how she landed. The second attempt she ended up shearing one of the front shock shafts and also one of the hinge pin mounts.

Sky said he was going to start working on the footage tonight so hopefully he might show a teaser tonight and the whole video tomorrow.

Ewww. I have to see the vid's.

 

[WA2FAST]

Come on man! Lets see the insanity. I really want to see the setup and what you did. You've got us all ready to download this thing. Post it when it's done!

 

[SkyMaxx]

I will post Digital Liquid's video. It is internet friendly in its current format. Note this is the second attempt that El Pirata made. This is no where near the quality that the final video will hold, but it at least wets the appetite.

CLICK HERE

Note, it is in a Quicktime format...so you will need either the Quicktime player or the appropriate codec for your media viewer.

 

[ZANDOR]

that was cool..but it was a tease...more more more

 

[Nitro_Freak]

for how short the vid was......it was awesome!!! lots and lots of air is never a bad thing to see

 

[Ryhton]

Damn Sky you got around with that vid, thanks for updating all the threads. I saw the link on a different thread. You da man

 

[SkyMaxx]

Figured I took the time to put it up, I might as well make certain all the interested parties saw it.
