Let them know that if they swing up thru Santa Fe, I'll buy them a real nice

pickup and delivery service to the airport. Lar.

The airframe mounted videos I've done have been vibration free as well.
The image stabilization in the camera is a big help but I also mounted
mine using a 1" thick piece of foam rubber as a cushion all around,
with it "preloaded" by compressing it about 1/2" to absorb shocks in
all directions. Seems to work.

Steve B,
I agree with you. The total dependence upon one technology is not so smart if a
back up system is really important to you.
More importantly, I liked your greeting to Jet Pilot, "I could not agree with you
less". It is very apropos considering Jet Pilot's typical greeting "You could
not be more wrong". Politeness has not gone out of style, has it? Being rude
while making a point does not help your case.

I have used this software to remove the shake from videos. You need to get the
videos to your pc first. Then run in through VirtualDub with the Deshaker plug
in. It is a little tricky but it can save videos that are just too shaky to
watch. I almost deleted 2 videos I had made of my kids first wakeboarding attemps
because they are so bad. But after deshaking them they were good enough
to keep, pretty good actually.
Here is the plug-in;

| Subject: | #3 Update 2007 Ultralight Flight to MV via Texas |
Hi all,
It's Friday morning, and we just called for a weather briefing. Just a few minutes
ago I optimistically sent Dave Rains (El Paso) an e-mail saying we might
make it tonight. I should have talked to WX-BRIEF first! Winds aloft not a
problem - tailwinds of 15-30 all the way to El Paso. We just wouldn't have been
able to land anywhere! All across New Mexico and into El Paso there are surface
winds of 15/20 gusting to 30, 40 and even 50!!! There's a slow cold front
moving east and that's likely to remain for a couple of days. Happily, we've
staying with some Kolber friends of mine here in Casa Grande, AZ (south of
Phoenix).
Let me recap yesterday's flight.
When we got to our planes yesterday morning and were doing a radio check, we
found that my radio had been damaged in the turbulence on Tuesday. I could hear,
but couldn't transmit. (For anyone who knows me, you'll be laughing. My
preference is talking over listening!) So all day our method of communication
was to fly in close visual contact. If Larry wanted to tell me or ask me anything,
he would ask a questionthat could be answered with "yes" or "no" and I'd
waggle my wings for a "yes" response and keep them level for a "no" response,
Happily, we had calm air all day, so I could keep them level as necessary.
We took off and promptly lost sight of each other - circled for 20 minutes before
making visual contact. From then on, we were "wing-to-wing" buddies. :>)
The first leg was 2.5 hours to Needles, CA. Calm air and flying over beautiful,
yet desolate country. Wide valleys of sagebrush, rocks, and dirt roads between
jagged mountains (5800-7500') of dark rock. Beautiful to fly over, but
I didn't envy Karen who was driving it.
After refueling in Needles we flew on over more of the same for a 1.5 hr. leg
to Blythe, CA. Blythe is a beautiful valley which is green, green, green - thanks
to the Colorado River, which has been channeled into canals for agriculture
irrigation. A brief refueling stop and then on for another 2 hours to Buckeye.
Again, calm air and beautifully desolate scenery. From Buckeye we flew
for an hour to Casa Grande, our destination for the day. As we came near Casa
Grande, we saw "forests" of saguero cactus. We were following a dry river bed
at about 1000'AGL, and Larry with a shout of glee (yes, he keyed the radio so
I heard it) dove down and followed the windy riverbed. I hope my pics of him
turn out.
We landed at Casa Grande about 7:15 p.m. - we had left Calvada Meadows at 8:00
a.m.! Ed Dobson, who has owned two Kolb Firestars, was there to meet us. I
had called Dobsie from Blythe to let him know we were on our way - he thought
I had said Buckeye and had gone to the airport to wait! A long, long wait.
So we'll be bunking with Dobsie while we wait out this cold front. We'll be
keeping you updated -
Arty

As far as I am concerned, posting good and accurate information is more important
than anything. Many new people read this list, and to have a guy post something
that is totally wrong is a disservice to everyone. People should know
what they are writing about before posting something as fact to everyone that
reads this list.
I was blunt, but not rude. I consider your post rude though Thom in Buffalo, I
would rather be blunt than a hypocrite. More importantly Thom, you seem to place
more importance on personalities and what you like to hear more than on good
and accurate information. That is a good way to get yourself or someone else
hurt in aviation.

Thank you Thom. I wasn't going to reply to his abrasive "know'it'all"
comment, due to its overwhelming righteous position, but since I wasn't the
only one who noticed that, I WILL take the time to say thank you for
pointing it out.
I did find it a little puzzling how someone who wasn't sitting in the seat
next to me KNOWS all about my situation. Or my GPS, for that matter. (An
older model Garmin 95XL. The satellite coverage was always marginal, at
best, as I stated in my original message.) Older GPS's only could track 8
salellites. If you were lucky, you received 4......3 and 1 weak one. I
liked my GPS, but it was a bit "strength" challenged. And it mattered where
you suction cupped it to the windshield!
What?? You mean you are using your experience with a modern GPS to tell
me how my older GPS WILL act??
So, I'm flying along, 8500'msl, straight line, N Ca border, headed south.
GPS is fine. I get shaken severely with turbulence...GPS says "poor
GPS coverage". Air settles down a bit, coverage comes back. Then I
think "I'm back in business!!" 15 minutes later....shake shake
shake..."poor GPS coverage."
(And NO, it wasn't the connections!!) End of story.
And I still think phylisophically it is MUCH better to have two different
forms of navigations. In the event "A" goes out on you, you have a good
shot at using "B". But everyone is entitled to their own opinion regarding
their preferred navigation methods. (stated politely)
Have a nice day!
Mike in SW Utah

Mike,
You very clearly and falsely said that a GPS antenna cannot work in turbulance.
You at no time in your post said that it was due to your "old" or "substandard"
installation.
I think you probably understand 5th grade english. Be a man and admit that you
posted bad and false information instead of pouting like a baby about how I
called you on it.

OK, Folks:
If you are going to get into a pissing contest about GPS, take it bc.
I do not want to hear about it, and I might guess most of the other
members of the Kolb List do not want to have to wade through it
either.
