All -
Crankpot is right - the clear 3M book binding tape lasts about six years. Then
it starts cracking and breaking off. When this happened to me, I replaced the
gap seal tape with dacron sail repair tape. Now I have the best of both methods!
The sail repair tape comes in a 2-inch wide roll, just like the clear 3M book tape.
Comes in various colors. I used white. And it's very sticky. You install
it exactly as you would the clear tape, with the same sticky-side-to-sticky-side
overlap of a half-inch. But now you have the benefit of a dacron fabric
gap seal, which is stronger and should last a bunch longer than the clear tape.
Looks good, too.

I bought a firefly a few months ago and promptly buried the nose in dirt while
taxing. So i fixed the cone and ton of minor issues with the plane with a TON
help of a friend on this forum over the past few months. Last night we got all
the minor things fixed and I took it back out and NOSED OVER AGAIN while going
relatively slow on the ground. Thats when we noticed that whoever built the
firefly RIGGED THE ELEVATOR BACKWORDS. I am now trying to figure out if need
to switch the cables on the stick or were they connect to the elevator. The seller
did not have manual or anything with the plane, can I simply just switch
the cables on the stick?

First, I'd learn how to preflight an aircraft. Did you check the controls before
you climbed into that little rascal?
Get a construction manual, learn how the cables should be routed, and correct the
problem.
Man...that is dangerous.
Now I have to tell on myself. I climbed into the factory MKIII at Sun and Fun
one year some time ago, strapped in, started the engine, started to taxi and discovered
the rudder cables had not been crossed. The individual that rigged
the rudder cables did not know that the cables should be crossed to be correctly
rigged. I didn't check before I climbed in. I took something for granted.

Thanks for the info on the camera... I figured it was probably the Virb Elite.....
I am getting by fairly good on my Sony hdr-as100vr it lacks heading and altitude
but does show ground speed and the track...but would love to have the elite...
maybe next year.. :)
