360 Hours to Build a Microlight

A key part of the vision for 360 is to combine adventure with our purpose. From the start we will be using microlights, which fly low and slow, as filming platforms. Dozens of microlight aviators worldwide have already indicated their willingness to fly on 360 projects, filming events and projects. When coupled with webcams and GPS these inexpensive filming platforms will create a video map of the changing world.

First Webcam Project

The 360 website will kick-start this part of the vision in January 2002 with a 'ticking clock' project. Richard Creasey and his British Microlight Aircraft Association (BMAA) authorised team will have just 360 hours to build an Easy Raider microlight. The build starts on February 1st, 2002.

Once built Richard's Easy Raider will become the first filming platform to be used for 360 - Changing the World by Degrees.
