Kolb Friends -
I'm not trying to be a List Monitor or anything here, but ... we gotta try harder
to follow Matt's request to cut down on the extraneous text when we post messages.
On this recent topic (angle of attack monitors), I was scrolling thru several posts,
each with PAGES AND PAGES of unnecessary back-chatter when the actual message
consisted of only a few lines of text.
Please try to keep your posts confined to YOUR words, and keep only enough of the
previous topic message to give reference to your post.
Also, try to remember to type "Do Not Archive" for stuff that does not need to
be kept forever in the archives.
Just trying to be helpful, before we get yelled at by Matt!

This is my first video from my plane using a Drift 170. There is no audio
this time and the camera mount needed to be pointed down more so that we
aren't looking at the bottom of the wing.
I wanted to get some video of water. Lake Michigan is 400 miles long,
mostly 100 miles wide, almost 900 ft deep, fresh water, no salt and no
sharks. The lake froze over last winter and is only just now warming to the
low 70s on the surface. Living along the lake we haven't seen much over 75
degrees this summer and never when the wind is north or west. My home is a
red three story on the left as I fly back to the lake shore from the sand
dunes.
Enjoy

Rick- Very nice- thanks. Where did all those dunes come from? No sand visible
around the shore.

ur concern about something breaking and asked to get back on the ground.

>> After investigating all the obvious stuff like wing incidence, aileron de
flection, and angle, etc. Took a look at the tail. Found the tail wires to
be pretty loose. Because of the folding design of the tail, any flex in the
horizontal stabilizers will bind hinges and lock the stick. Partially fold
the tail and try to move the stick to see what I'm talking about. On the gr
ound, there are no forces on the tail and stick movement is normal. At flyi
ng speed, the lift forces can cause the tell to flex and bind the hinges.
