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.

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.

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. -------- Thom Riddle Buffalo, NY (9G0) Kolb Slingshot SS-021 Jabiru 2200A #1574 Tennessee Prop 64x32 Truth is what stands the test of experience. - Albert Einstein Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=346759#346759 le, List Admin. -- kugelair.com ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:01:00 AM PST US From: "Larry Cottrell" Subject: Kolb-List: HD video http://vimeo.com/27361845 I just got my new Tachyon XC HD micro camera yesterday.

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 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.

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.
