Never had that problem with any other video....

I have to say I love Marsh Bend. Just Beautiful. I am thinking the bridge of 44 is going to be a while - what is the hurry anyway? It would be a bridge to nowhere. Would not shock me if they did them all in the same week..... The only thing Certain is it will be before the next high season(all 3 bridges). I think that is a safe assumption.
The flights in this video were all free flights, manually controlled by the pilot (me), unlike some that are programmed and controlled by the onboard computer of the drone. The video is then rendered at 2X speed which really makes the piloting issues more noticeable. So the bottom line is that I'm a much better programmer than I am pilot. When you watch the side-by-side video you will see that the newer one is much smoother, this is because I'm programming the flight from the data of the first, manual flight.

I'm also not doing as much editing of the video content to get them out faster. I fly all morning on Sunday then spend Sunday evening doing the editing and to add to the issue there is sometimes either a wine or scotch component to the work.

Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
