https://vimeo.com/140472319 password- owyheeflyer
I got a bit bored today, and finely got up enough gumption to roll out
the plane. I had no where specific to go, no where to be, so I just
wandered. It worked, I was no longer bored and not only that I had a job
to do- making a short video. Its kept me busy all the rest of the day.

Dee, Off the top of my head I'd say +/- 25 degrees sounds about right.
After everything settles down later tonight I'll get out my Mk III drawing
set and see if it's spec'd there.

| Subject: | Re: battery/starting issues |
For what it's worth, HFT has this on sale right now for $40. It's a bit
heavier than some batteries but I use a 20 AH SLA battery for my main
battery so a 17 AH backup would be just right for a back up.
http://www.harborfreight.com/12-volt-jump-start-and-power-supply-38391.html
The one on sale is a later model than this and also has some USB ports so
you can charge a phone as well. Might be nice if you got caught out and
found your phone was dead, too.
