I have been fooling with the exposure of my Drift camera. I have been
unhappy at the quality, which to me didn't seem as good as it could have
been. I finally decided to change the exposure of the camera. These two
videos are shot with the lens stopped down 2 F stops, and it is better, but
the video still seems to be a bit overexposed. Since two F stops are all
that is available, I will have to be satisfied with that. The sun can be a
bit bright here and the terrain is a bit dull with little contrast
sometimes.
I did a video of the same area last year, but I flew up the canyon then,
and had some problems with raising terrain. This time I decided to start at
the top. I also had a camera that only shot in 480, and I wanted to try the
change in lens aperture to see if the definition was better.

This is the second part. Password as always is - owyheeflyer
I had looked forward to being able to take some stills through my camera
port, and did get a few before my camera battery went dead. Sigh!
High winds were forecast for the area later in the morning, but I felt that
I could squeeze the flight in before they arrived. By the time of the
opening scenes of the first video they were picking up quite a bit, and I
was glad to drop down into the canyon where I would be sheltered from most
of the wind. When I came out of the canyon the wind was coming up pretty
good, and I finally had to drop down to the Sage where the friction slowed
the wind enough that I make some headway towards home. My GPS was showing a
ground speed of 39 MPH at 1000 feet agl.
I like the quality of the recorded video much better, but I am still behind
the curve. You might notice a bit of a glitch on the "credit" screen of
Part two.
The little Firestar handled the winds and the terrain quite well.

Hmmm. Possibly there is a button cell in there. Time to crack open the owner's
manual. Maybe I should just ride it more! Nothing I like more than to ride to
the airport and go flying.
Good times.

Went out this morning and practiced landing a bit. I
setup a camera to see what it looked like from the ground
side of things.There was basically no wind
at ground level and I placed the camera 400 feet from the
threshold of the runway.I seldom actually
hit the threshold because there are power lines on that end
and they make me nervous.On all the
landings power was set at idle on the downwind and not
touched until I was on the ground.All
these were made with full flaps. I'm sharing this not
because I think I'm particularly good at it as you can see,
but because it was fun to do. Hopefully you won't find
it too boring.

Subject: | Re: Lithium Batteries |
I got my lithium battery a little over a year ago and it's been turning over my
912 very well for all that time. I have had times during the winter and during
carburetor tuning when I have had to spin it quite a bit and so far it hasn't
failed to to do well. It has also gone through several weeks of not being
used and still seems to hold a full charge. I'm not sure how it would do in
really cold weather. This information may not be helpful regarding providing
ignition for long periods but there do seem to be several types of lithium batteries.
Some designed for starting and others for deep cycle for use in powering
electric cars and the like.
My specs:
Weight: 1106 grams (2.44 lb)
Voltage (Charged): 13.6V
Amperage: 20 Pb-eq A/H
Pulse Cranking Amps: 410 CCA
Thanks,
Allan

I really love the tours you take us through there in your area of the country.
Beautiful, and and there is just nothing like seeing it from the air like that
although a lot of it just begs to be hiked, fished and camped. Thanks much
for this and all your videos. Enjoyed it a bunch.

Subject: | Re: Short Field Landings |
I've used a number of editing software packages looking for one that is relatively
easy to use and still has the features I want. I'm currently using Pinnacle
Studio 17 largely because I had a friend who let me see his training video
and I have come to like it pretty well but with these things I think it's mainly
what you get used to. I tried Corel Video Studio, CyberLink PowerDirector,
Avidemux and a few others. I think the Corel was probably the easiest but all
of them seem to have strong and weak areas so when I actually purchased one
I just chose one with the features I wanted and determined to spend the time to
learn it. It's still a struggle because I don't use it often enough to stay
up on everything. They all seem to take time to do a decent job and I'm still
way back on that curve.
Thanks,
Allan

I liked your video, and thought that the instruments being visible when you
were doing the landings was nice. For that particular video especially.
With my intended applications, it wouldn't work. I guess what I liked about
both your software and mine is the ability to record it in MPEG 4, which
seems to be the sharpest format. Perhaps you can do some more videos soon.

The GPS info is just an included file that is combined using the camera software
prior to any other editing if desired. I actually think that for what I was
trying to do that just a view of the flight instruments would have been more
helpful but this looks cool.. lol.

Love the format. Seeing the cockpit view, flight data, and the ground
perspective at the same time is really nice.
On the subject of power lines, have you thought about contacting the
power company to have their 'orange balls' added to the lines? They will
probably try to charge you, but one of the original members of my
airpark pitched it this way: when they asked for payment, he pointed out
that the power company owned the lines, and if someone couldn't see them
& it caused a crash, the power company would be liable. They installed
the balls for free.

Subject: | Re: Short Field Landings |
Yes that has been discussed with the field management and I have made that suggestion
myself. The portion of the field that I was landing on is not actually
owned by the airport but is an extension which is privately owned. Typically
I land on the 'actual' strip which is another 5 or 6 hundred feet further on.
I think the balls would be a great thing to have in any case especially for
folks trying to land there who aren't familiar with the place.
Thanks,
Allan

with my last trip up to Larry=99s home,, the rock house,,, I picked
up Larry's old tachyon micro hd camera...( don=99t tell him,,, we w
ill keep it our secret). on my first video to the Alvord Larry helped
me set it up,,, I used Larry's old camera mount, on his plane he mounted
it on his right wing strut,,,, I kind of bent it around a bit and mounted
it on my left wing strut... it ended up a bit out of level.... when I go
t home I made a new camera mount and I am giving it a go. on my first vide
o with the new mount is still a bit out of level... sorry I am working on
in.
my first video is a flight to the Alvord from Larry=99s home. http

I liked it Boyd. It is nice to see other parts of the country where other
people are flying. The camera seems to do better than I had remembered, but
then again, If your terrain is bland, then there is a good chance your
pictures might be as well. Yours has some better definition to it than
mine. Not much green where I fly. I see that your video was produced with a
reduced screen size to it as mine was before I changed video programs.
Movie make wasn't that way until just recently, and that was the reason
that I bought another program. Perhaps there is a tweak that will make it
full screen. If you use "lithium" batteries it will record for about 5 or 6
hours.

Nice videos and thanks for sharing. My camera mount is a bit crooked too but
luckily my plane flies with one wing low so it works out... :D

Kolbers,
Its time for my first annual on my Xtra. As I purchased the plane I dont have
any reference on doing an annual. What can I do myself and what must be done
by an A&P? I would think that I should have an A&P do the engine portion. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.

Subject: | Rotax 670 test run |
With Dave Lewis helping out I was able to run the 670 on the Kolb tonight for the
first time.
If the tach is correct it idles smoothly at 1600. Only revved it to 5k so far but
first impressions are positive. Very quiet, and even smoother than the very
smooth 690L-70 I took off.
Hopefully more run time tomorrow and will see what it'll turn up to wide open.
Possibly the extreme smoothness is from ignition timing that may be too retarded.
Will have to see how it revs out tomorrow to see if a little advance is in
order.

What kind of a/w cert? If it's experimental homebuilt, the only thing
you need an A&P to do is sign off the annual condition inspection.
Legally, anyone can do anything else. Repairs, mods, general service,
anything.
Having said that, it doesn't necessarily mean that just anyone *should*,
at least until they gain some experience. Anyone in your area that has
experience with Kolbs? If so, they could probably help the A&P, because
most A&Ps don't deal with experimentals much.
