Introducing the "Legal Eagle"
Homemade Ultralight *Digitally Remastered Short
by Vantage Point
original footage below
My Uncle, Denny Sleen
had a dream of building his own plane.
A man of many talents, and a mind for engineering.
He put himself through flight school, and picked up
a job at the local municipal airport. After putting in the hours,
he purchased what was needed and assembled the kit.
After a couple taxis at the airport, and
a few minor/major set backs he was ready for take off.
The video above is one of his first real flights.
For me, part of the ground crew, I just wanted to be there
so that I could capture the moment and share it with the world.
It was one of my first short promo videos/edits
I ever captured just for fun, and it went viral ...at least locally.
It was one of my first YouTube videos that garnered
over 1k views... it now has over 35k views.
It sparked within me a dream of a different sort;
To fly an unmanned aircraft,
capture more unforgettable moments,
and create stories, timelapses, and art in motion.
Denny's Legal Eagle
was about as unmanned as you can get.
This single seater, light weight aircraft
has been awe-inspiring for Vantage Point.
I can only imagine what its like to fly such a craft.
For now I will stick to the ground and let my drone
take to the sky.
