Larry,
Your excellent videos are much appreciated. You are fortunate to have your own
grand canyonette without flight restrictions in your area.
I'm curious if you have ever flown down into the canyon below the plateau level.
My cojones are not robust enough for me to do that if I had access to such a
canyon. Forty-five years ago when I thought my self immune to mishap, perhaps
I would have, but not today.

Thank you Larry for doing this, had to go get a second cup of coffee just to do
it justice. With your permission, I will be adding this to our local club newsletter
for the other club members to enjoy.
I would guess your camera has a 135 degree lens? Whatever it is, it is just right
for what you are doing. Oh, yeah - you have good taste in music too - I have
already found and downloaded Blue Sky by Palas Inde.
Will be checking back later for #4.

gang,
That camera has a 170 degree lens, and I have it zoomed to about
halfway. It is also shot in 720 in an effort to reduce the amount of time
to upload the videos. I am due to get my Sat. service upgraded to 5 MBS
sometime soon, and will try the higher setting when I do.
I have flown down in the bottom of that and other Canyons, but this
particular one is a Wilderness area, and it is "recommended" that flights
stay above 2000 feet. I do not believe that this flight violated any
regulations and thus do not object to its use. Just do not give out the
password to the video please.
To Thom- While there is no real reason for an engine to quit in the bottom
of a Canyon than there is over level ground, it is sometimes hard to
convince your butt muscles to relax when you are in the bottom of said
Canyon. My tolerance level varies quite a bit depending on terrain. :-)

My mountain flying instructor made me enter canyons. The objective was
to cure me from the "terrain fright" typical to flatland pilots. However,
we were in a heavier, slicker airplane than Kolb, using Va. Cutting power
and a zoom maneuver would make it pop above canyon side where we had plenty
of space to land.

lm winds today to redo a flight from Three Forks to Rome with the new camer
a. The last one was a pocket "spy" camera that just couldn't handle the ear
ly morning light. I flew the entire 39 miles of the Canyon to Rome, Oregon.
I cut the videos into four pieces, and was able to get it all by speeding
the video up to 2x. That brought my ground speed up to about 170 MPH as I h
ad a 24 MPH tail wind. I am still on Satellite that is a bit slow, so it wa
s a chore to get them all uploaded. I still have two of them to finish and
will send them along as soon as they are ready.=0A=0AAgain the password is

These may not be related to Kolb aircraft but they are related to
flying, even if it's from flight level 1320000 (250 miles)!

I can confirm the above, the photos are not Kolb related.
The Kolb List is for Kolb aircraft building and Kolb aircraft flying.
Help us keep it that way, please.
