Glider
As some of you know I have been endeavouring to play with my new toy for a while. I finally got to fly it on Tuesday after something of a saga getting it airworthy and today I shot a few images during a brief flight. Emergency plastic surgery was required after the flight to remove the incredibly silly grin 
The camera is a Go Pro fired remotely using a Wi-Fi link to an iPod Touch. It was mounted on the wing using a dual suction cup mount.

Re: Glider
Gordon, Great. I feel a bit jealous. Looks like a splendid glider, very clean lines. I can't see your grin, but yes your profile  . Those images have come out really well, quality, composition, especially when you have taken them remotely. (I've got a very very small camera which a small remote controlled helicopter can lift, but quality minor, nothing like GOPRO) You even have your personalized reg!  Thanks for sharing.

Re: Glider
Wowee.......really, no motor? Just the thought sares me! Both photos are so awesome - I believe the second is my favorite, though. The sun, the horizon - a real sense of how high you are. I get dizzy if I'm standing on a chair - I had to sedate myself the first time I got on a plane.......and it had all kinds of jets and stuff!

Thanks for the comments guys. Emil, yes it is a great machine. I'm now trying to find reasons why I should buy the Hero3
