The link does work if you copy and paste only what is visible. Highlighting seems to grab some additional text that isn't needed.

Ok, so I have watched the video, thanks for the link. I think it needs to be viewed as an outing for the 'Dumb and Dumber' idiom. I hope that it has NOTHING to do with RC, surely it can't have. I don't understand, and I MEAN I don't understand... WHO (what kind of brain) would maiden an expensive aircraft in strong wind? WHO would try and do a slow landing approach past lamp posts in low level wind turbulence? WHO would allow what is basically a 'gun-dog', and bred for chasing down game, the freedom to chase a flying object when it could have blinded the animal? WHO would be daft enough to publish the video?

Everyone makes mistakes, but I think that the reason it has gotten a rise out of me is that this collection worryingly indicates an absolute contempt for the manufacturers instructions and for the large body of freely and easily available advice to be found, not least, at Flite Test. And IF the pilot can't read, and there are some people and I make no judgements, Flite Test explain it all out loud and generally with some kind of graphics or examples.

p.s. Artizan... ArtiZZANN (meaning a craftsman or skilled practitioner), artesian is a kind of well isn't it?

p.p.s. Chris, don't worry it was still a good Podcast, I liked hearing about the Delta Ray. I put my two adult sons and my wife up for the first time this last week using a Delta Ray and a Super Cub S. It was definitely a beautiful memory for life.

This might be a silly question. I have a crash story for FT After Hours and I don't know where to put it.. Where on the website do I go to post my crash story? Thanks
