nice video...
I think you need to check your trailing edge.... excessive amount of flutter there!

Nkwazi.
I also wanted to comment on that excessive flapping of the trailing edge at the closest battern to the camera. I see Sad-ham also made that comment. Something I learnt from personal experience: I NEVER allow someone to fly in "flip flops", they tend to want to go through the prop when you shift your foot positioning, (just my feeling
)
Nice video. Was it early morning or late afternoon? Seems that it could have been late afternoon, the way you were casualy dressed.
The angle from the camera is nice and wide, when I place my video cam in the same position, I have to make sure I do not cut out the prop or the nose. I cannot set the angle, the camera is one of those that you buy at the indian shop for R499.
Enjoy your flying.

What causes that isolated "flap" on the trailing edge? Stretched seam on that section? Batten too flat?
Just curious to know...
Sorry Brett...we didnt mean to AP your trike at the same time here
