Some 120 fps (25% speed) shots of my Bixler 2 using a GoPro Hero3 Black. The telemetry is from an Eagle Tree data logger, with the speed coming from the Eagle Tree Airspeed MicroSensor V3. After a few flights with the pilot-static tube airspeed sensor, it seems consistent and plausible, though I haven't thought of a way to verify it's accuracy. Readings under 10 mph should be discarded. Location is the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. The lawn in front of the stadium is a great non-club place to fly small-medium electrics, so long as no events are being setup or taken down. There is an informal meetup of flyers on Friday afternoons/evenings, though a flyer or two can usually be found any early morning.
