Many Drs really don't understand what a mess you'd be in if you failed a
physical. You must beat it into their heads that you MUST NOT fail a
physical at least ion the FAA forms.>>
What an odd attitude. None of that is the doctors concern. All he does is
ensure that you conform to the criterion laid down by the appropriate
authority. If you dont qualify that is your concern not his. Would you
want a commercial pilot flying you who has faulty eyesight but got the OK
because he explained to the doctor that he wouild be out of a job if he
failed?

Well, a commercial pilot flying hundreds of passengers is one thing; a
private pilot flying a light plane for fun is another. Indeed, many
disqualifying conditions can be waived with a special issuance, but it can
be a long expensive process that many pilots might not want to go to the
expense of, if the alternative is to fly as a Sport Pilot.
I don't think you should go to your AME for a "preliminary" physical; you
may put them in a difficult ethical situation. If you have any doubts, go
to your regular doctor and ask him to check you to the FAA standards (they
must be published somewhere).

I was pleased when SP became law. Also ironic that I made my first
(lega) flight in my MkIII the first day
it took effect. Matter of fact I believe I was the first guy to fly
in that category, early that dewy morning.
Some fellow in CA claimed the same thing but given the time zone
difference..... it was dark there when I lifted off.

Exactly - if you have a disqualifying condition _go get it treated_. To heck with
the medical. This is is how I think about this issue (YMMV and just MHO):
- if it's on the list of things that are disqualifying, even if I think it's stupid,
the chances are it could be a safety issue. It's like AC 43.13 - most of
the construction/inspection techniques for airplanes are in there because some
poor sot flew an airplane into the ground. I'd be willing to bet many of the
disqualifying medical conditions have similar roots.
- There are other ways to get off the ground once you've gotten your health back
regardless of whether FnAA still wants you on the ground or not. In fact, these
choices (sport pilot, sailplanes) are better in that the responsibility for
medical cert. rests on the individual much moreso, which is where that responsibility
should be IMO.
- regardless, we fly for fun and it's no fun, in my experience, flying when you're
in poor health. What's the point? When I got sick in 2000, I grounded myself
for almost a year. Hardly missed it, tho, because I wasn't in any condition
to enjoy it anyway. That still holds true today - if I'm not physically up to
it I don't go up. I'm nursing a lower back injury right now as I type and not
flying because of it. Even flying ain't no fun with a sledgehammer lodged in
one's coccyx anyway ;).
So my view is health first, then flying afterwards......
Again, the usual disclaimers: YMMV and JMHO,

For good video on Youtube, upload it in High Definition. DIVX, which shows up
as an MPEG 4 file seems to be the best quality for the size. I upload my videos
in full High Definition, which is 10801920 in size. My 10 minute Kolb video
in HD was around 500 mb, it takes a while to upload, but its worth the effort.
It took about a week, but the magic " Watch in HD " appeared at the bottom
:)
One thing about you tube, when you watch the video, make sure you click " Watch
in High Quality " at the bottom right of the picture in blue, or " Watch in HD
", whichever one is there. If you do not do this, the quality of the video
will really suck [Evil or Very Mad]
If you do not see the " Watch in HD " or " Watch in High Quality " at the bottom
right, upgrade to the latest version of Flash Player, its free and fast to do.

GrantR,
Good to see you got a camera and are posting videos. DIVX seems to be the best
quality for the file size, it shows up as an .mpeg 4 when I make the movie in
Pinnacle Stuido 11. My 10 minute video was 500 MB. Make sure you make the video
size in full 1080i HD so that it will play in HD in YouTube. That is a video
size of 10801920. It took mine a week to come up in HD on you tube, it
was there as a regular video first, then one day the "Watch in HD" appeared.
With that camera, you should be able to get some really good quality videos from
your Kolb.

You guys want to talk about landing videos.
Here is a video clip John Bickham made when I landed at his strip for the
Nauga Flyin 2008.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAd10ZDKuwM
I approached steep (got to to get over the trees and power line) and was
ready to touch down at the approach end of the 1500 ft strip. Rather than
ground taxi all the way to the south end, I decided to air taxi, in ground
effect, with minimum power, at about 30 mph, full flaps, fully controlable.
Looks like I "air taxiied" (hovered) a good way down the strip. Kolbs are
fun!
And.........I did it without any assistance from ___ ___'s. You'll have to
fill in the blanks.

I took this clip of my old flying buddy, John W, at the 2007 Kolb
Homecoming, Labhart Field, Kentucky.
We could not predict the future. This clip is sort of a farewell clip from
John W, as he disappears into the fog after landing.
