computer. It had been cropping my videos down from full screen. So much so t

ing on the internet I found a program called "Cyberllink power director." It
was reputed to rate a 10 for ease of use. I will not go into all the crap t
hat I had to suffer through just to download it on my computer. Lets just sa
y that it took better than two days just to get in on the computer. I was su
re that I had made a mistake, but they already had my card info, so making t
he best of it was the only option.

urse the manual is on line, and about 200 pages long. That in its self gives
you an idea of the problem. The damn thing does too much. I merely want to c
ut out the boring parts of the flights, add some narration and music. I real
ly don't want to be famous, I don't want world acclaim, just a simple video o
f high quality that I can share with a select number of people that share my
interest. Apparently I am close to one of a kind. That feature is tough to f
ind in this program.

es to pictures and videos. While the brain compensates for the distortion of
Lexan, the camera does not. I put a short wind screen on the Kolb and found
that it dropped my speed by about 7 MPH. No way, much too impatient for tha
t. I have a wrap around "full enclosure" from Kolb that is scratched from us
e on the right side where I got in and out. I decided to cut a window where I
would normally look, for the lens of my camera. I bent a couple of pieces o
f Lexan to form a wind deflector. It works fine. I got my speed back, the wi
nd doesn't hit me and I can now see, even if there isn't a camera stuck thro
ugh it.

ame up, to the Pillars of Rome. I have a lot of pictures of them, but nothin
g really good. I got up before dawn, but there was a storm front blowing in a
nd the sun wasn't showing through. Finally later in the morning the clouds b
roke enough that I thought that area may possibly be in the clear. I wanted t
o test the port hole any way. I am very pleased with the result. I will be a
ble to continue to use the enclosure and not have to replace it after all.

| Subject: | Kolb Mk iii / Geo 1.3 engine |
I'd like to converse with anyone building a mark iii or using a geo 1.3 engine.
I'd also like to meet any of these builders who are in the north texas area.
