Pilot to attempt to break record for spins

By Janice Wood · March 2, 2011 ·

Spencer Suderman will attempt to break the current Guiness World Reocrd of 78 spins in one flying session March 10 at the El Centro Naval Air Facility’s Annual Air Show March 12.

Helping document the aerobatic pilot’s attempt is MyPOV360.com, an online retailer of  wearable action cameras and accessories. The company has provided Suderman with the recently launched Drift HD170 Stealth to capture his recording-breaking attempt. The Stealth features high definition video quality, LCD screen, wireless remote control, 170 rotating lens, and slow motion technology with 60 frames per second.

During Suderman’s test flights, in preparation to break the record, he used the new Stealth unit to film him and the aircraft’s canopy in order for the judges to review the number of spins after he lands. Click here to view a sample video clip.

Suderman is an air show pilot, race pilot and one of the founders of the Aerobatic Racing Challenge Series (ARCS).

“Aerobatic flying is a privilege that I am lucky to enjoy,” said Suderman. “Not everyone can be in the cockpit with me but the Drift HD170 cameras allow me to share the experience with the world in a way that has never before been possible.”
