It is a good time flying in and camping under the wing of my Kolb at
Airventure. I hope to fly in and camp again this year. In recent years there
have been so few planes flying it was down right sad.
One special note about flying in. They require that you call the Red Barn to
get permission to fly in. Don't assume that any information given during the
call will be accurate or that they will tell anyone that you are inbound. If
there aren't any planes flying in the pattern do a fly by on the south west
side of the strip to verify landing direction. Maybe they have fixed this
procedure but?

Has anyone used one of the Flip camcorders in flight? I have been using
a little spy camera, but the quality is pretty bad, and would like to
upgrade but only if it is worth the effort.

Much of the tail dragger insurance premium comes from the hull value you place
on your aircraft. When we were flying a Rans S6 tail dragger, we were paying $1800/yr
(3 pilots, all private or higher and lots of tail wheel time) for $40k
hull and liability. That seemed high to me (AIG) but it was the best deal we
found at the time we bought it. When we owned an Allegro with hull value of $50k,
we were paying $1200/yr for hull and liability. The tail dragger premiums
are a LOT higher than tricycles.
Now that I own my Slingshot without partners, I'm self-insured for the hull and
have liability insurance from USUA for which I pay about $386/yr plus the $30/yr
USUA membership.

Kolb guys=2C
While perusing eBay a few minutes ago=2C I came across this generic camer
a mount. It's held in place by a suction cup=2C and appears to have the ab
ility to rotate/point a camera in virtually any direction.

All you'd need is a stable=2C flat surface to stick it to=2C like the ins
ide of a windscreen. If the airframe caused too much vibration=2C I'm sure
you could fabricate a short=2C flexible=2C rubber extension (like out of a
rubber hose). You may have to experiment with the best length of extensio
n to find the least shaking=2C i.e.=2C 2"=2C 4" or 6"=2C etc=2C etc.
Just passing along what I found.........for less than $6 total=2C how can
you go wrong??

I'm paying 300.00 for a million dollars liability with Falcon.
They have my MKIII listed as an LSA, although it is registered as

or not. Need to check on that.

John,
When I shopped for insurance recently for the Slingshot, Falcon quoted me $600
for liability ONLY and discounted that to $300 if I bought any hull insurance,
even "not-in-flight" insurance. They quoted me $800/yr for liability and not-in-flight
hull insurance which would cover damages to my aircraft while taxiing
or when in hangar or tied down but not during take-off, landing or in flight.
So, the $300 you are paying for liability is only available at that price as
part of a hull insurance package, at least that is what they told me this time
and several times in the past when I had insurance with them.

Sorry, haven't used the Flip. This past Christmas I broke down and bought the
Sony DCR-SX40 with 60x optical zoom. I have made the following films with it.
I really love it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYZ7IxMX5RU
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdnNCubZA8Y - On take off and landing I held it on my shoulder with my neck/head. Other times just held it and flew, with the big screen it is easy and I can zoom in on things. It'd probably be easy enough to build a mount for it though.
Of course after putting it through Windows Movie Maker and YouTube the quality
goes down on any video.

Fyi
The weather in Utah has been quite iffy this spring. More days of wind
and rain than I would like, the jet stream has been overhead and when it has
been clear the wind seems to blow, the flying has still been lumpy. Had
my first smooth flight this spring last Saturday. Usually around this time
of year we get the change over from this crud to good flying weather, Last
night the weather guessers said that southern Ut will be clear and dry may
15 - 17th. The same time frame in northern Ut is cloudy. I will try and
let you know what the weather guessers have to say as it gets closer to the
departure dates.
Looking forward to seeing as many as can make it this year.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
Have moved my departure up to Sunday. That will give me 4.5 days instead of
my normal 2.5 days to arrive by noon Thursday. The 2.5 day flight required
two 8 hour and one 4 hour day, without any time for weather. Extending my
time by two days will allow me to fly shorter days, take it easy if I get
tired, or if I have to wait out winds and weather.
Anxious to get to Monument Valley and see my old friends and make some new
ones.
Wish everyone could make this flyin. It is the best.

I had my VW exhaust system ceramic coated in a silver color inside and out.
It looks good almost like chrome. It was done about five years ago and
wasn't showing any rust but five months in Florida and there are now some
small rust spots showing. I'm starting a program of coating the exhaust with
oil to stop further rusting.
I have been told that ceramic coating aircraft systems isn't recommended
because it may hide cracks. I inspect my exhaust very carefully before every
flight.

Hi Uncle Craig/Gang:
Plan on being there no later than Thursday. May even get there a day or two
early. Plan to leave here Sunday.
How about you and Milo Tim? Are you all planning on making the big event?
Got a call from Scott Trask, Iron Mountain, Michigan, this morning. He and
a buddy are planning on flying to MV in Scott's RV-6. Scott also has a
MKIII he flies summer and winter in the far north of the Upper Peninsula.
If all goes well, he also plans to join us at Wendover, UT, and the Rock
House. That is if Larry and Karen have an extra couple of nails to hang
them on.
Things are shaping up for a good flyin, the 8th, next week at MV.

That makes a lot of sense.
I've no problem with the endorsement, save that I'd rather do it in my AC which
will not likely be possible since it'd probably be experimental.

No reason why you can't do it in an experimental.

Nothing precludes you from getting your endorsement in an experimental, as
long as the hours in the experimental are free. ("... not for
compensation or for hire.")
You just need to find an instructor willing to teach you in the Kolb.
The Catch-22 is that, if you are building it, you need to complete the
forty Phase-I test hours before being able to fly legally with two people
on board.
So you would have to get somebody else to complete Phase-I, before taking
lessons on your plane.

Actually, the FARs state that you can fly any LSA within your category and class
rating if you are Rec license or higher. If you are PPSEL you can fly any LSA,
above or below 87 kts, tricycle, tail dragger, or skis, without further endorsements.

Hey Larry,
Your video productions have been an inspiration to me. So I recently bought a
little camera. You might find it worth looking at. Google Tachyon XC. They
have some sample vids on Youtube. I got it cause it is waterproof (ie resistant)
and shockproof. The waterproof part is kinda needed down here in LA.
There is a Micro version that is pretty small. How much weight can Peg haul?
You can even lash it to the "QUAD" on one of your trecks down to the Owyhee.
I haven't had much time to fly with it. But I did take some nice videos of my
grandson in the surf in FL. Spent the last three days on a tractor cutting drainage
ditches and cresting my runway. I'm sleeping in a half twisted position,
looking backwards!
Starting to get down that I'm not headed your way for a visit. Take care of the
old fart [Laughing]
