I think you guys will like this. My new friend Shane I and met up by commenting on each other's utube vids. I found out he was about 52m away and I flew over for a visit. He's got a 503DC Phantom with a power fin prop. We taxied down together and turned around. I then realized what genius Homer is. You see this '87 5 rib 447 Culver propped Firestar is the only plane I've flown and last Sunday was the first time I'd flown "with" anyone. When I left my field earlier, I knew the alt/den was going to make my climb rate....modest. I also had my cruise prop on which made following Shane across his "backyard" difficult. Below 5000rpm my rotax begins to fall off the pipe and run a little rough. After watching the vid, I'm a little ashamed of how much I was monkeying with the throttle to stay behind. I normally set the throttle, go fly, and don't touch it until I'm coming down.lol I made due by making S turns and crabbing. Next time we fly, I'll have my climb prop on and we should be close. After the flight he told me he was at max cruise to try to help me out. I knew I had a sweet little flyer, but I now have a new appreciation for what a true gift Homer has given us. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ez1V1igEtz0&feature=feedlik John Tempest 87' Firestar 447 SCSI Culver Woody(because they sound cooler) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=346203#346203 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 09:47:50 AM PST US Subject: Re: Kolb-List: SC flying video From: robert bean John, you do nice camera work.
