Gosh...now I feel in better company. Thanks, Al. :D

Ha! I dream of a minute with no crashes!!! I usually have one or two takeoffs in mind and a couple of tricks I really want to get in there. This means I spend the first hour trying to get these done without crashing. Then, when I finally nail it, I suddenly panic beacuse I don't know what to do after this good 30 second start - so I crash!!! I think all VF entries should contain a compulsory lawn-dart - after all, if you're not crashing, you're not pushing the limits... Maybe I've just marked myself out as a n00b, but I don't care - I do VF as it forces me to have an objective for my flying, and an excuse to go flying all the time "well I'd love to stay and do the housework dear, but I really have to get my VF entry filmed, after all, I've paid the entry fee now and everything!" :lol:

I've been stressing out about it too. And then I broke my Cosmic twice!! But finally I have some footage I can use and I'll also piece together an unused cuts vid for later on.
Looking forward to seeing your entries :cool:

The response to my submission:

I've forwarded your entry to the good people at Virtual Precision :P


OUCH.

That's hurts.

Esp. since the 'precision' in this video is shameful. I think it was meant as a commentary on the lack of freestyle. I have become the 'cryin on the inside' kind of clown.

Gosh, the guy running this thing is harsh. ;)
