Lovely bit of filming too and such nice country. It was such a shame that the camera battery discharged on the next flight. That footage would have been even better I reckon.

Yeah, I'd say so!

Subsequent flight the next day saw me avoiding combat with a wedge-tailed eagle easily the size of the aircraft, followed by Jason keeping the X-8 in thermals with a wind-milling prop. Broke the motor mount after finding the one rock in the field on landing... and no footage to prove it after the GoPro battery ran out 30 seconds into the flight (must have discharged into the laptop USB port it was plugged into overnight )

Golden hour right there! Awesome footage guys! Where you running any stabilization on board?

I was well pleased when I saw the footage! No stabilization/UAV module in there yet. All pure RC.

Very nice stable flight there claudio . Specs please ?

Hacker A30-10XL v2. Castle ICE 75 ESC. 11x8 folding prop. 4S batteries (only 3300mAh on board when that footage was taken).

Awesome acceleration/vertical performance with this setup (as one disapppointed wedge-tailed eagle can attest to) - needs maybe 100W to cruise, with 600W available when required.
