Hi Flight Test bloggers , My name is Al. Been flying E R \C for 16 years , I am long time subscriber to R C Groups . ( Same User Name ) and have 3000 un edited R /C vids at You Tube same name. I live in chino Ca and only about 5 mi. from Ont Convention center. I go to Expo all 3 days every year . This year was thrilled to see the Flight Test Peeps at the show and witness the huge improvements thery have brought to the AMA program of providing youngsters a free intro to areo modeling . Originally it was a balsa chuck glider called a dart. ( 50 years ago) . Then it became a a stick and balsa rubber powered Streak or Flight Streak.
This year the F T crew took it far from those to a foam board many piece chuck glider design comporable to a dream Flight Aluha. Good job F T crew Joshes and Im sure your head builder and designer had a hand in it too. Very big improvement from a many builds old guy like myself. It was great meeting all you nice folks too.
I'll become a regular blogger now watch for my threads about what me and my club mates do ... I have some pics from tonight on my cam I'll share later. oh and yeah when I started showing the F T people and Josh B. some of my vids he commented that myself and my F B s are like them. When we build a flying machine we will work on that prototype all day to see it fly. I have no pics on this hard drive but I do have one vid from Expo at You Tube . Its a scratch built M R Quad Star Wars X Wing Fighter

And please forgive my off topic posts cuz I do tend to stray O T at times but trust me they are worth sharing. Here is perhaps the funniest video I ever did . The F T people thought so too.

flying video critiscism

I dont edit , shoot multiple takes or play director. You will see raw un edited footage as the event unfolded. This is reality T V folks and at times a difficult task to do well. I consider any video to be superior to no video. I mean come on even if only 5 seconds is decent that beats staring at the wall. I shot lots of footage to clip snaps to post at R C Groups where I have over 5000 attachments. So be kind ,a word of praise or appreciation keeps me buying batteries and rolling camera. If you feel Im an amature , yes I am but Im learning lets see your good stuff.
 
I got to go to this expo. Take selfies with the FliteTest crew. It was awesome.

When you give an entire room to 1 organization, and you got dozens of companies that only get a booth or two. I think it reflects on how important you are - regardless of how much money you make.
