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. -------- 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=377745#377745 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:57:31 AM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: video's From: "Richard Pike" Thank you Larry for doing this, had to go get a second cup of coffee just to do it justice.

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. :-) Larry On Mon, Jul 9, 2012 at 6:56 AM, Richard Pike wrote: > > Thank you Larry for doing this, had to go get a second cup of coffee just > to do it justice.

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. -- Pete ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 11:02:07 AM PST US From: chris davis Subject: Re: Kolb-List: video's Larry , must be something with my "norton setting" I went down stairs and e ntered your password on my wifes computer and they came right through!They were downloading for half an hour on my laptop .

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 - owyheeflyer,- all small case.
