Video Not Working? Fix It Now

This was a fun experiment learning more about Vortex Generators and how they work efficiently on an airplane wing. The simulations were meant to be modeled up from a standard Kitfox wing, not STI. The main goal was to find the proper chord length to place them. Ps. I mentioned Zero AOA to make things simple. I understand there's no zero AOA in order to maintain lift. Hope you enjoy watching as much as I enjoyed making this video. ************************** The Music I use comes from: https://player.epidemicsound.com/ Cameras I use: Airplane outside: Sony Action Cam FDR-X3000 Airplane inside: GoPro HERO 4 Silver - http://amzn.to/2l1Nhit Ground shoots: Iphone 6S Gopro 4 Silver Sony RX100 V #alexdisessa #Kitfox #vortexgenerator #HighSierraFlyin #TrentPalmer #bushflying #StickRudder #KitfoxTraining #MavicPro #cirruslife My other videos: THE PLACES WE GO WITH OUR KITFOX ✈ ✈ ✈ https://youtu.be/HZwOil7qibg DESIGNING A NEW KITFOX SHOCK GEAR - PART 02 🔧 ⚙ 😬 🛫 🛬 https://youtu.be/Egy3kl3drAA ANNUAL RANT.
