I went up with Garry in his Cessna 140 to capture some slips on video.

Great!
But in some of the "slips to a land" in a Champ I've been in wouldn't have the runway in view, as the plane was just about going sideways.
The opinions and statements of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events.
Here's a video of me flying the original Fly Baby prototype about 25 years ago. Bit of a slip at the end:

Here's a later video, shot with a low-resolution camera mounted to the axle, showing the view from the airplane:

The axle mounted view doesn't seem to work very well. The first clip is a lot of fun to watch. excellent synching with the music!
Very early camcorder...something like 320x200 resolution, and early codecs that really pixilate the thing.
Something with a more-modern camera, though the slip isn't as severe:

Something a bit retro...$15 key fob camera, attached to the gas cap with double-faced tape.

The hard part was finding room for the piano player.... :-)

Ron,
the music makes the video one of the coolest vids ever!!!!

Glad you like them! I know some folks hate music added to flying videos, but in reality, there's not much to hear when on a Fly Baby.
This is one of my favorites, though, again, taken a long time ago with a way outdated camcorder. I made multiple flights with the camera in a different position, and edited it in with music most flying nuts should like. Nice slip at the end, too....
