Helicopter Fuel Run / Camera Test

Another video from the FlyingMAir YouTube channel.

When I brought Wyrking Byrd to its summer home last week, I was too darn tired to make a fuel run before landing. With rain in the forecast and cherry season just a day away, I figured I’d better top it off, check out my camera setup — including a new camera mount — and try a new iPad mount. This is the footage I captured during this flight. It may come as no surprised to some of you that the audio camera didn’t capture intercom/cockpit audio so I wound up recording a narration track in the editing process. I hope you enjoy this!

  1. I’m looking forward to your cherry-drying season. Your low altitude videos remind me of the pleasure and challenge of helicopter flying. Take care, have fun.

  2. Very informative Maria. The skid cam will be quite interesting when you are cherry drying.

    You have have answered this elsewhere and I missed it, but why did you sell Mr. Blue? Are you looking for a different configuration than whet it had?

What do you think?
