Snowbirds Fourth Flight Aug 2016 - Dayton, WA

8 жыл бұрынFirst "real world" test of the Snowbird. The location was not previously scouted. The ground was irregular and had a high iron content (made the compass calibration not work). The subject was moving and communication was lost several times. Snowbird also experienced some unusual behavior (spinning wildly) . Strong winds kept our speed down. Even with direct line-of-sight there were communication problems (will soon be trying a signal booster).
Thanks Mary for the help and getting us permissions to film during Harvest!

The unusual behavior (which is edited out) was violent spins and non-response to the control stick. This was most likely a VRS (Vortex Ring State) which results from turbulent air under the craft or rapid descent. I was ascending when this happened... most likely all the hot/dusty updrafts... the VRS usually results in a downed drone. Very lucky!

Great video- looks like you shot an elusive gleaner with a leveller. These guys must farm some steep stuff. Good perspective of the terrain 4:20-4:50. Look like opening up the field so grain cart has safe place to go. Picking up on the go not a good idea there!

Never seen the hillside model in the gleaner transverse, is that an add on or factory? The transverse does really well on hillsides compared to any other make.

Gleanerman, I’m not sure with the steep, uneven terrain and the combine wanting to crab if would want the grain wagon along side while rolling.
