Thanks for sharing AND for picking music this old man's ears can tolerate. lol
What do you use to mount the GoPro?

It's getting harder to do; YouTube has some pretty thorough copyright checking. I've got some old videos still online that use movie music, can't get away with that anymore. Have some recordings from the World War 1 era, these partially trip the copyright nanny but since they over a hundred years old, copyright doesn't apply.
Wing is set up for navigation lights. Disconnected them years ago...flying as Sport Pilot, no panel or landing lights in any case. Removed the light from the right wingtip, installed a 1/8" plywood plate with an extension to lift the camera high enough to clear the wing.

Depends on the arrangement with the publisher. I used the James Bond theme over the video of me flying the (water) jetpack and all they did is insert an advertisement for ordering the music.
Yeah, it's kind of weird. I'm getting notices that some countries won't be able to play the music due to a copyright conflict. But it looks like it works in the US, at least.
I moved the camera to video the UNDERside of the wing, instead of the top. Should have aimed the camera further down, but what the heck.
About halfway through the video, you see our local volcano, Mt. Rainier, slide across the horizon.

I've used current copyrighted music in most of my videos, only once was the sound supressed, at least for US viewers.
Yet when we livestreamed our daughter's wedding for people who couldn't attend a few years ago, youtube muted the sound when a copyrighted song came on in the background. Go figure.
I made another flight yesterday, and aimed the camera a bit lower and widened the field of view. Short video, only ~13 seconds.
Two things, here. First, remember that the Fly Baby's gear is totally rigid...no spring struts, no oleos, no bungees. It's really obvious in the physics of the landing.
Second, watch the shadow of the rudder after touchdown. Really working to keep the plane straight....
