My guess about these windmills is that they in fact will reduce turbulence as they
are sapping energy out of the air stream, and unlike a motor propeller not
putting any into it.
I have flown near some of them in my Sierra out in New Mexico never noticed a thing
one way or the other, I think they operate as a wind barrier for lack of
better words.

Thom- Thanks. The noise issue was raised in Vt., near where I have a cabin. The
NIMBY syndrome, noisy, chopping up birds, unsightly, etc. They are putting some
up on a high ridge there. As I intend to put in a field there, I was wondering
about it. I wouldn't be anywhere near 500' in any direction. Probably more
turbulence with the hills, ponds, and lakes.

"Did you notice any unusual turbulance over the wind farm?"
William,
None at all. Of course I did not get within 500' of the wind turbines and for the
most part I was above them, not down wind from them at their level.
Re: Wind tubines
I've read a lot of anti-wind-turbine hype and some say that they are noisy. A few
weeks ago, I drove to this area and parked my car between two of them close
by. I got out of the car and the only sound I heard were birds chirping. So much
for them being noisy and being dangerous to birds.
This particular wind farm is the closest one to Buffalo (not counting the 7-8 turbines
on the lake-front) but there are many more further SE of Buffalo. I would
guess there are a few hundred of them in this part of western NY and more
coming.

I just got my new Tachyon XC HD micro camera yesterday. I made a short
flight last evening to see what the picture quality is like. I did make
some of the clips pretty short, trying to keep the size down for upload.
First test is hopeful. It took me on my Baud rate about 60 minutes to
upload this, not that much more than for the other camera.

I have a Tachyon OPS HD on order. Can't wait!

Did you fast forward or speed up the movie in any way? It looks twice norma
l speed. What procedure did you use to unload from the cam to your computer
and then upload? What video editing software?

I am looking for a place to keep and fly my Firestar II. I live in Souderton
Pa.
Thats close to Quakertown. If anyone has or knows of a field with hanger
space I would appreciate it if you would let me know.
I lost my old field due to development.
thanks for the help
Hi Gary,
I guess how far you must drive depends upon a number of circumstances, but there
is hangar
space where I have my FF. The address, if you'd like to Google maps it, is 910
Engler Rd.,
Nazareth 18064. From Google's marker at the curve in Engler Rd., two drives elbow
SW, one
to the hangars and the other to the owner's house.
If you're familiar with 191 just N of the exit from 33, it forks right and goes
past the
SP barracks and Nicos Polymers plant where the 30 alarm fire was last week. If
you look to the
right on the top of the hill from there you can see the hangars.
When I lived in Lansdale and had my UltraStar I had a barn and strip in Elroy,
about 3 miles
from my house. It's not a strip any more, but was that neat!!
There are private strips around Quakertown, too, but I don't know exactly where
or availability.
Good luck!

The color of the new camera is quite good, much better than any other
that I have tried. The pause or shake I think is due to a card that
isn't fast enough. The one that I paid through the nose for was a class
6. I will be looking for a class 10 or higher and I think that will
stop. If you buy one of these cameras get your card from Amazon or
somewhere else. About half the price. It takes a Micro card by the way.
Sometimes on Vimeo, you get a message that there was a problem. That is
due to the web site rather than the movie. Just close it out and click
it again.
The movies that come out of the camera works fine without any conversion
on Windows Movie Maker that comes on almost all computers. Cannot speak
for Mac. I have to admit that I was cranking right along with my speed.
This was an evening flight and there is still some quite unstable air in
the evenings, so I was flying at max cruise. If I am going to hit a dust
devil in the grass fields, ( no dust) I want to be in and out as fast as
I can get. To edit the movies, just plug in the video card to the
computer and import it to Movie Maker, then you are ready to edit. Now
there is a provision in the program to set up the way that the movie is
saved for transmission to You Tube or Vimeo. The required information is
available on line, not sure where at the moment.
They are making a smaller version of a helmet cam that is about 2 1/2
x1x1 for the same price, but it isn't out until sometime in late Aug. I
am not sure if there is any advantage to a smaller version, and it may
be harder to mount. My old one had a remote with it, but the new one
does not.

Larry, FWIW, I just viewed your video on my PC without a hitch. The HD quality
is just great. Thanks for posting it. So, for my 2 cents, take as many videos
as you like and I'll be watching for sure.

Newegg has great prices. Delivery takes 4 days. I bought an 8GB (14.99) and
a 16GB (24.99) - both are Class 10, come with HD adapters and had free S/H
when purchased. Here are links:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208569
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211519
I tested these by copying and then reading back several hundred MB of large
data files (typical for video work). Both can write up to 9.5 MB/sec and r
ead 16.5 MB/sec. Haven't actually used them yet - Tachyon hasn't sent me my
new OPS HD cam yet ("Coming This August"). Whaaaaaahhh!

Larry,
I was at the hangar this morning when I tried to view your video on my iPhone and
it did not work. I am home now and tried it on my iPad and it worked fine.
I then tried it again on the iPhone and it still did not work. Since I upgraded
the op sys on the iPhone last week but not yet done so on my iPad, I suspect
my problem is localized to my newest op sys.
Great video quality! Flying close to the ground as you were doing in this video,
makes 65-70 mph look like over a hundred if you are used to flying above 500'
agl.
As always, thanks for your great videos.

This is The Kolb list.
Please keep your comments "KOLB" relevant , or at least aviation

There are other forums where the presentation of theological
philosophies are deemed appropriate. Here they unequivocally are not.
I'd love to discuss theological philosophies with you elsewhere,
