While I certainly enjoy the Video flights in particular the Headset wmv there, sadly none of it is in Australia.
I have piles of video off the helicam using a Sony TRV cam on it and some from the mini CCD camera, all in Aus.
This is one from Wilson Promontry
Unfortunately it was about 27knot winds gusting to 40knot so didnt get any good video in or any decent altitude in case it got too ugly and had to abort a few times.
Wilson Promontry is about the windiest place in Victoria.
This is one of its blowy days.

When I see people mention Micro UAV at <100 grams I just wonder what they are thnking to imagine an aircraft that weighs 100grams or less will fly in any wind, let alone a stronger one.
The Heli is about 8Kg in that vid with the TRV on it.
