Balls of Steel - in 3D

[Trappy]

As some of you may know, Chris from Ritewing has designed a new plane for me recently. I jokingly called it "Balls of Steel" while building it, but when I first flew it ... well, the name just seemed to fit. In order to hit the PG13 rating, though, let's just call it "BoS"

The plane is somewhere between 90" and 100" wingspan (I still didn't measure it, sue me ) and, let's just say, it has a bit of power!

I'm not going to spill all the beans yet, the plane still needs a lot of tweaking on my part, but we're getting there. One neat thing about this plane is the custom TBS-designed 3D GoPro mount in the front. The 3D experience puts the footage from this plane to another level, as if the plane wasn't enough. Excuse the rather lousy editing for the maiden vid, this one is not meant for prime-time, just for showing off Enjoy! (you need to follow the link to YT and get yourself some 3D goggles)

Can't wait to see where this goes.

Bummer, I don't have any 3d glasses.

Were you using "broken" gopro's then? I hope you have good ones still!!

Just move in close to the screen and cross your eyes until you see three images. Concentrate on the middle image of the three and you'll have the stereographic effect.

^Never could make that work...

I tried and got it, but could only hold that for 30 seconds. Ouch.

According to David you can make your own with 2 markers. Nvr tried it though
