Hi Everyone.

Just thought I'd let you know that I have customised my I1, you can see the results on my website - http://muzzys.world

As soon as I can, I shall also post the strip-down & rebuild.

Regards.
Muzzy.

Looks great.  I'm very excited to read about the tear down.  I'm ready to paint my bird but want some guidance first.

I really like it , I thought about black, but had to ask myself how easy would it be to see against a dark back ground. Have you flown it yet, painted like that? If so how easy was it to see at distance? Nice job

Looks great, I did the same paint job on a 74 VW Beetle I had when I was a kid.
I just had a "Flashback" (go figure - lol)

great paint, good job.
How did you do with the camera, did you open it to remove the covers, or just used some tape to protect it?

I took a look inside, but it was too tricky to remove one of the pieces. So I opted for masking it up, except for the rear fan grill which I hand painted.

When I get the strip-down written up, it will have photos of every step I took.

Thanks. Flies great and apart from yellow being my favourite, the tribal style flame shows up nicely.

Thanks Bob. Back in the 70's I also painted a Beetle. I sprayed it black and then painted emerald green flames on the front.

That looks great.  I especially love the '8 Ball' idea for the camera.  Nice job.

Thanks Jason. I have a weird sense of humour, as I have been told by my 14yr old daughter.

You gotta be kidding me?

I did the same exact thing, only I had big gold lightning bolts on each side.

Where was the Inspire on that misty morning when you got the still photos?   That would have made a spectacular video!

Hi Jim.

Unfortunately the photo was taken with my Nikon DSLR, not the Inspire. As I was away for a few days with my family, I only took my usual gear.

In my posts, at the bottom there is a section which lists the EXIF data for the stills I take/post on my website. I always include this to aid others in getting the right settings for their camera.

Note: Unsure if the Inspire camera captchers EXIF data or not at this time, so I will have to experiment with the stills it can take. I use a nice WP Plugin called - Exifography, which can be set to show various EXIF data automatically on a WP website.

Regards.
Muzzy.

Yeah, saw it was taken with the Nikon, just would have loved to get out there with the Inspire.   We had a semi foggy morning in Sydney a few weeks back and I got some footage, but would love to get more.

Jim,

Those fogy images in the cemetery setting are really awesome.

Music choice is also very suitable.  What is the music source Jim ?  Could you post it or say where it can be downloaded.
