I still have to edit the second video from today. My Mother in law wanted to find some shells so I loaded the Bixler in the truck and went flying south of my place in an river inlet near Carlsbad. The video turned out really well and I think you will enjoy the awesome views...

What happens if you forget to secure your gopro to the plane? Good thing this was my first flight of the weekend, as you can see from the first video, not the last!

I'm guessing that when the gopro bailed it messed up the CG? Looked like the Bix was having some issues...

You are right kind sir! There was no control with the very tail heavy bixler coming back down. I'm just glad I tested it there instead of over the water!

At least you got both plane and camera back with no damage. The day doesn't always end that way...

I have a short flight from yesterday. It was too windy today to fly anything...
