This should reduce springiness. john h mkIII It worked great on turf, but was too springy on pavement. When I taxied on pavement, the spring would start oscillating and the nose and tail would start going up and down. This would get worse and I would have to stop to get it to settle down. Then as soon as I started to taxi it would start doing it again. Bill Varnes ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 07:43:02 AM PST US Subject: Re: Kolb-List: new camera From: Robert Laird I don't do a lot of videos, but, usually I convert whatever I've got (from a variety of devices and formats) using a video converter program to WMV, then I edit it with Windows Movie Maker. I do have at least 2 other professional-level video editing programs, with a lot more features, but I've realized that I very rarely use any of the other features, and that WMM usually does 100% of what I need (for these brief, flying videos, anyway). After I get it edited and saved as a WMV file, I use the video converter to change it to FLV, then I publish it on my own web site. That way I have more control over it. But I realize that most people don't have their own web site, and just use YouTube, and that's fine. YouTube will pick up a WMV just fine. The video converter program I use is: Aimersoft Video Converter ( http://www.aimersoft.com/video-converter.html) -- Robert On Wed, Jul 14, 2010 at 8:28 AM, wrote: > Greetings, > I'm also having problems editing my videos.

It's available as a free download from: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/moviemaker2.mspx All I can really say about it is that it works for me and is fairly well documented.

Been wondering about the birth of her baby and if she Still has the MKII??? Also John Hauck... How did you make the switch from the round landing gear spring to the flat required by the new Maule type tail wheel? You may have posted pictures at an earlier time??? How are you doing with therapy? Recovery? John, I enjoy having the photo your plane in Alaska as the background on my office desk top. It encourages me to keep working on mine.

How did you make the switch from the round landing gear spring to the flat required by the new Maule type tail wheel? You may have posted pictures at an earlier time??? > Bob Bob: We fabricated a short tailwheel strut from .120" wall 4130 (don't remember the OD, probably 3/4"). Welded a .250 4130 plate at the correct angle to make the pivot axle vertical when the mkIII was sitting in the 3 point position. A short piece of 3/8" ID bushing stock was welded to match the single bolt hole on the Maule TW mount. Maule TWs can be bought for 1 1/4" and 1 1/2" springs. I use the 1 1/4". This is the last tailwheel I installed last May: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/lgpages/maule_sfsatw.php There are some photos of the tailwheel and strut floating on the internet or in someone's computer. I am still at Nell's with lap top. Most of my stuff is at hauck's holler in my desk top or CDs. john h mkIII - 3,000.0+ hours airframe 400.0+ hours Rotax 912ULS ________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 08:03:54 PM PST US From: "Larry Cottrell" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: new camera Will, I haven't had any problem when using Movie Maker. Its all pretty easy and the sound is there. Of course the quality is going to suffer, but that is You Tube, not the program. If it didn't it would take forever to upload to You tube.

Thanks GeoB ________________________________ Message 14 ____________________________________ Time: 09:04:54 PM PST US From: "George Bearden" Subject: Kolb-List: Another newbie question: I have a United sensitive altimeter sitting on my shelf. It confuses me. When I use it in my car in the mtns it seems to work right, so I assume the problem lies with me. When the weather man says high pressure my altimeter starts reading high altitude. This last coupla weeks of high pressure has shown the highest 'altitude' I have ever seen on it, while on my shelf. Seems to my pea-brain that it should have been opposite that! Please someone help me unnerstan this fee-nom-e-nom. ________________________________ Message 15 ____________________________________ Time: 09:24:16 PM PST US From: "George Bearden" Subject: Kolb-List: 3rd Nubie question... should I buy?
