The Lost DF Videos
If you go to Google Video and type in Draganflyer, there are only three videos so far. One is with what someone claims is an onboard digital camera which does get some nice high video but he crashes at the end of the flight, another is a DF being dismembered seconds after lift off by hitting low lying limbs and the other is from DFI.

RE: The Lost DF Videos
I threw a video together of my 3rd flight. It went pretty good considering I'm a rookie DF’er...until the end. lol 
No damage though.

RE: The Lost DF Videos
That was some good controlled flight. Was that with or without Ti? If you put some nav lights on it, you can fly further and higher without losing orientation. They show up really well at that time of day.

Hi Sky High, I was flying with Ti on. I have yet to try flying with it off actually. I paid a lot for that technology; I might as well use it. hehe Maybe someday I’ll try with it off…but probably not till I get a 100 or so hours of ‘training’ under my belt.
I definitely need some kind of lighting system on it. I've toyed with the limited recourses ([link=http://www.tireflys.com/xampp/tireflys_rwb_auto.html]tireflys[/link]) I have here in Ottawa for adding lights; but have yet to get a good one that didn't make it off balance and harder to fly. I have skimmed through the other nav light posts here; but there seems to be so many choices.
What do you use? Or do you have a suggestion of the best lights suited for the DF? Flightlights sounds like a good choice; however it looks like they are in-between manufactures at the moment.
