Default Mouth-Cam (video from a mountain 928 run with the Go-Pro camera)

This little Go Pro camera is so small, i actually got some footage doing a mountain run with the Holbert car chasing the BMW racer (also street licensed) with the camera in my mouth!

We then switch cars and i catch some mountain driving from his car. Man, that BMW can turn on a dime . Its amazing.

Then, I tape this camera to the bottom of a remote control plane and fly above the neighborhood.

check it out.

So the BMW had really good turn in? Much better than your car, even though its lightened? What would you attribute that to?

well, it is 200lbs lighter, but i dont thing that is it, because Ive driven a more stock BMW racer and it felt the same. maybe the way the front suspension is attached to the chassis. less caster?? could just be the steering ratio or some other things. This car is all plastic bushings and everthing on the suspension is new, including the JRZs Its a real race car. However, the stability of the 928 is a good trade off, expecially in the medium to high speed tuns. But, he is only on 235 tires, and going to 245s.

I was very reluctant to take the flights. But, ive gone up about 6 times now with no crashes. However, I will be honest, i had no idea that i was that close to that one tree on two of the landings!
