Nice vid. Wormburner

I just downloaded a mini vacation of 32 mb
The combination of the scenery and music is great. Would like to see some more video's.
It's still one of my dreams to go there someday.

I produce videos for a living but have yet to fly one of these things. It's all new to me so if anyone's out there flying & shooting I'd love to get a chance to watch & learn.

Bob... My condolences on your loss. All of this should make a nice tribute to your mom.

Thanks for the kind words dutch_anykey.

I was at home, sick with the flu when I read about Bob's contest so I threw together some of my vids and put in background music. (It's just as well because I'm not a good enough pilot to do all of it at one time without editing.) If I ever get around to it, I'll try another with better scenery. It may end up being after the contest though, because the winds are borderline for me to be really comfortable and get brave with the aerobatics. They usually die down during the winter months.

I've asked some of my other friends about making videos, but they're all a little shy about their skills. IMO, crashes make good vids too. lol.

Kyle.

Dang I have said that a 3D flyer has just as good a chance as a beginner in this contest! I will not judge based on flying skills alone but on how the video is put together, scenery, music, etc!

So tell your friends to submit a vid or you wormburner will win by default!

Great contest Bob.
I hope there are lots of entries. Watching Kyle is wonderful. (No pucker factor, nothing mad about it). Sweet, smooth — a happy heli and chilled pilot. Very Island style. That's how I wanna fly.

Hey Bob I think the guys that fly here in Kailua Kona would like to meet you when you come down to Hawaii. Would you agree to come over to Kona for a day or so if we managed to get you a ticket to fly up here on say a sunday morning? Drop me a line if your interested.

Aloha,
Les

Thank Les.... I got your PM too.... Let me see if I can do this but please remember I am with my entire family of 11 and we would have just flown in on Saturday... BUT I think this might be possible and Oh.... The Big Island is my favorite place so it's going to be hard to refuse.... But it will be based on family and I hope you understand....

I will let you know in a couple of days OK...

Oh and you guys on the big island going to submit a video? Come on man!

Bob

Only a couple of weeks left folks! Only one video submitted!!!!
Whats up with everyone??? Kind of disappointing

I guess making a vid for a free heli doesn't fly aye

Anyway I sure hope others enter the contest. Remember it is over on the 18th!

Bob

Although I do television production for a living, so far I can only crash helicopters as a hobby... !

I'd create one but it wouldn't be very inspiring with a helicopter just three inches off the ground.

Great idea. I hope you guys can get your vids in in time. I honeymooned in Hawaii, then returned two years later. My wife and I love it there, but haven't returned since having kids. We will be back though!

5 days LEFT! At this point looks like Kyle will win be defualt.....

Kyle if you do win (or anyone else on Oahu) I haven't decided if I am going to bring it with me or ship it when I get back from vacation. If I can get it in my suitcase without too much disassembly then I am going to try to bring it with me. If so can we arrange pickup at my hotel?

Very relaxing vid right up to the end. I guess it had to drop to match the song. I enjoyed it! Thanks Kyle!
