That one didn't hurt. It was the one a few moments after that we launched and slammed into the next swell. Caused the motors to sputter as all the fuel drained out of the carbs! You can see it on the video. Everyones heads drops down almost out of site from impact.

Re: SCOPE Video Run

I would like to see that. Great pics and I am glad that you can smile about them. It's fun so long as the people and the boat come out ok!

I launched mine really hard about 2 years ago, while I was in a turn, I hit a roller that I didn't see on a dead flat day. We landed on the side of the hull at about 70 mph and the drives and tabs were all the way up. The boat hopped and porpoised about 3 more times before I got it backed down. How I kept it from rolling is beyond me.

Its funny now but it scared the chit out of me at the time.

Qaulity is the best I can get. The quality even direct to the TV from the camera was OK. Brand new Mini DV with new tape. I had it set to SP and not EP. Trying tocature good quality video.
My bro in law did the filming from a helo in Islamarda(keys) It cost 100.00 to take him for 15 min. 10 min filiming and 5 min to and from location. Great deal I say.

Awesome video! Nice boat too.

Thanks Rick....It wasn't as bad as it looked though. I guess I got a little excited for the helicopter

You can see in the begining of my run I"m flying semi level. I loosened it up to get some good air for the heli

I went a little overboard

Nort will know what's up with the SCOPE site. I'm sure he's working on it.

This shot look familiar??

Although I got a few decent air shots, I was hoping for a spactacular one. It looks like I should have lossened up a little more than I did...

Oh well. I guess practice makes perfect.
