  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

We just put one of our REDs (#107 'Chewie') up in an Alpha jet. 500 knots and 5 G turns, shooting to a RED drive tethered down below the seats with a bit of padding. Not one dropped frame! Can't tell you what we're working on just yet...

Crazy
 
Must have had some serious mountings - don't like to think what a 5x heavier Red body would do untethered in a cockpit!
 
Wow, having had some experience with this I'm surprised you didn't get any dropped frames from the vibrations. Did you get down among the weeds or was it strictly regular altitudes?

I'm guessing down in the weeds for added fun, but who knows?

Either way, I'm sure you had a ball!! :)

Cheers,

Glad everything worked out for you guys!
 
Thanks Mike. We were covered in the end, and hope there will be more shooting ahead.

And yes, there were some weeds to be down among. More to come...
 
with 500 knots, you really have the mark!!
