Here's the link to the FAA docket for that subject:
http://dms.dot.gov/search/document.cfm?documentid=466165&docketid=27160
I think they are going to allow "retractable" gear, but you'll have to get
signed off for using it.

How'd you get the vibration out ?
I did nothing, I guess it has more to do with the camcorder's image
stabilizer function.

Robert, I believe you are right.
As I understand the current rule, repositioning gear in the air is not
allowed by a sport pilot. A Private Pilot is allowed to retract even in an LSA
AC
if he has his rating. However The document referenced is a proposal to amend
the Sport Pilot Rule not a ruling.
There is an exception to this in regard to the Mermaid and a few other LSA
Amphib AC. These AC applied for and received waivers. I believe the individual
Sport Pilot must still have an endorsement for that AC.

You could not be more wrong, GPS works just fine in turbulance. Not only will
GPS work fine in turbulance you would experience in an aircraft, but I have used
GPS in turbulance and vibration that would cause structural failure in full
sized aircraft.
If your GPS was cutting out in turblance, then you had a loose wire, bad power
connection, or something wrong in your system. You made a very bad assumption
with your situation... There is just no inherent problem with GPS and turbulance.
As I said before, if you are the type of person that must have a backup to your
GPS, get another GPS, its cheaper, works better, and is simpler and more reliable
than a VOR setup.
GPS non avialability because sattelites are not in position is so rare, its not
even wroth thinking aobut unless you are using it for a very tight IFR approach.
Even if you get less than optinum sattelites, its only for a couple minutes
before another comes into view, the worst you get is degraded accuracy ( maybe
100 feet accuracy instead of 10 feet ). In other words, its NOT AN ISSUE.
For those of you that are worried about the Chinese shooting down the sattelites,
then you might as well worry about the sky falling, and never leave the comfort
of your underground cave... Besides, if it ever gets to that, we all will
have much bigger problems about than your GPS not working. ( A war on that
scale would take out the VOR's, and probably your life also ).

Neeeeto!.............especially for a challenged pilot like myelf having
not flown in
my wonderful KX for 2 years since moving to Florida
question.... i noticed there was a crosswind from your left, yet you used a
right pattern..... also where was that....seemed a little like El PASO OR
New Mexico.

Video was taken in El Paso, TX and at this airport ultralights and gliders
use a north side traffic pattern. GA use a south side traffic pattern.

Just wondered....I've got the image stabilizer on two different cameras.
One digital one Hi-8
Never could get the shaking out when I connected either one of them to
the airframe, or even the wing unless I practically turned the engine off.
My head acts as a perfect shock absorber, but it would be nice to
not have to wear the camera. I like the idea of having it look over
your shoulder
and being able to click it on and off when something interesting happens.
Nice Job.

Years ago, shot video all fall from my Hummer, used a camera carrier
that suspended the camera from bungee cords. Made a cradle that attached
to the camera using the 1/4" mount in the base, curved around above the
camera. Attached to the airframe was a pivoting bracket that pointed
forward (default) but could be turned from side to side, And since the
camera was hanging from bungees off that bracket (about 2" between
camera bracket and support bracket) you could depress or elevate the
camera as well. No vibration, worked great. It sat out in the free air
about 8" to the left of the cockpit where I could aim it with my left
hand, or turn it loose and it just pointed straight ahead.
These were the early days of VCR's, "portable" meant using a huge RCA
VCR hanging from the main tube in it's own harness to keep it from being
vibrated to death by the mighty Rotax 277, powered it off the 12V system
in the aircraft, with a huge coax connector to the big, old fashioned
VCR camera which was as big as my arm. Heavy too, that's probably why it
didn't vibrate, too much mass. Color was crummy, but had a lot of fun,
dubbed the whole thing to music.
Thinking about doing it again this fall with the MKIII, could make a
bracket that uses the 3/16" bolt hole in the fuselage side by my left
elbow, and clamp a top mount to the cage right by the top seat belt
mount. Use the half doors and be all set. My old Sony Handycam only
weighs a tenth of what that original mess weighed, will probably have to
ballast it to keep the vibration out.

I did that too, Big camera, bungee cords, springy steel plate
rivet mounted on the side of my 1983 CGS Hawk. BTW that was
the top of the line 1983 utralight, ailerons, flaps, etc.
Heck ....back then a double surface wing was a big thing.
But still, the vibrations made the video unwatchable for most
anybody but me. The new stabilizer chips take out the big jerky moves,
but don't seem to do much for the little engine vibrations. I have remotes
to turn my cameras on an off, so I don't need to have them wasting memory
or film even when they are out on the wings or on the tail.
If anybody could really solve the vibration problem, we all could do
amazing videos ...I mean the 5 minutes you get in the average 3 hour flight.
Here is what my old HI-8 set up off looks like, the new digital is much smaller
and much cleaner. I got a little box to convert the VHS/Hi-8 stuff to digital
so I can load it on Goggle. I ought to send "Larry out west"?" my old system
and let him shoot some stuff to entertain us. I'll ever convert it
and load it on
Goggle for him.

Jetpilot,
I could not agree with you less, a few years ago I was returning form
the Bahamas's, You know, right into the middle of the Bermuda Triangle and
had bad weather in the way, GPS went blink, LORAN C went blank. I did a 180
and turned on the VOR and it agreed with my compass and stopwatch. I went with
that. Landed at Treasure Cay and had a few Dark and Stormies. My feeling is,
when things go wrong it is nice to have at least two independent NAV aids
that agree versus two of the same type.
When the power goes off and the flashlight does not work, Us old guys will
still light a match.
worth what you paid for it
