Will, I'm impressed! Probably I use that too much. But I am. I know that you are
dealing with thermals as I am watching the "Step away from the string"! Hey,
in the video, you had that "schreec sound" as your wheels touched the asphalt.
We dont' get that with grass!
You do good, my man. I would be interested in your camera mount. I have a Canon
ES190 with 440 digital zoom and would be really interested in how and where you
mounted yours. I have often looked at the "wing support tab". Not sure how
well that would work.
See, we could trade video's; in the winter, you could send me really "hot" videos
of desolation and heat, and I could send you pictures of the ground covered
with snow, to the point I would have no idea where the field is. That would cool
you off. How about it.
And Mikie, I hope this isn't percieved as Babbalon. You know where that "Babble-on
" came from in the Bible don't you?
Ohio Ralph.......really hot here in Ohio!

Hi Ralph,
I had a gusting cross wind to deal with when landing. Normally I like to
land long and touch down mid field to avoid a long taxi. It was not my
intention to touch down where I did but since I was being blow away from
center line I figured it was time to land.
A short while ago someone posted a picture of a Kolb with a camera mounted
on the side of the fuselage using a RAM mount. I wish I can remember who
posted it so I can give him credit for the idea. I already had the RAM mount
so when I saw the picture I had to try it out on my next flight.
Erich Weaver of California mounts his camera on the wing support tab, take a
look.

Good evening group, This is the time of year when it is good
to live in the NE. This evening would have been a great one for
balloonists, cool, crisp, 30.3"Hg. Too good to resist, Kolb full
of gas and bugs (dabbers again?) cleared from the airspeed
tubes. I made my first one notch takeoff. Worked great, lessened
my ground roll by at least 30%. I landed at a neighbor's strip,
(Hatz owner) which needed a good mow job, to show him my plane.
The sun was hitting the edge of the earth when I left. His strip
is a humpback with an uphill run either way. Flaps again,
through the grasping red clover and I broke ground nicely at
the top of the hump. Retract the flaps and climb nicely at 45.
That glassy air is pure magic.
I'm a flaps convert now.
