OK, my first on-board videos! I took these with my Hobbyking 720p CMOS wing cam on-board my Seawind seaplane. No editing and no aircraft stabilizing for these three flights.

Good looking videos, I like the cockpit feel or the feeling we get from a traditional aircraft, ie: An Air-Plane. I could almost feel if I pull up on the stick she would respond ... Best part and is what IMO is missing from far too many of these so call "APV Flights" is there was some interesting scenery to look at which for me is first and foremost in keeping me interested. These I didn't need to shut-off within the first 5 seconds of the Video and yes sir I got the feeling you where having an honest DAYS FUN out by the LAKE ... There 'keepers' as they say
Thanks w00d! I am pleased with them being my first video flights. I did learn to keep the speed down, and stay straight and level as long as possible to SEE the scenery Oh, and I clearly should have known to fly into the sun as little as possible :-[ Oh well, they'll only get better! I am definitely considering some FPV goggles. Never thought I would, but it would allow me to make some longer-distance flights and to fly outside of LOS. Now I'm looking for a large amphibious airframe that I can use on land and water ;D
Very cool Mike. The view where you can see some of the aircraft in the video is still some of my favorite.
