It was obvious that the springs that I had were too wimpy to do the job, but the big rudder allowed me to get where I wanted to go with no real problems. I still decided that I would follow the recommendations that I kept getting, and see if they really were that much better. When I got them in the mail, I was surprised at how stiff they were. So as usual, I contacted John Hauck to get his opinion. He assured me that I would like them when I tried them. I finely ran out of excuses and since it was a typical fine October day, I decided that I could at least try the springs out. I considered whether or not I would put the camera on the plane as I was fairly sure that I would not be doing anything either risky or noteworthy, or even new. Then I decided that if something did come up I would berate myself for not having recorded it. After all I don't have to go to the trouble of making a video. I had no where to go after I got off the ground, but the air was quite nice, and the clarity of the air was such, that I just followed the whims of the admiring eye. I kept seeing things that I wanted to see better and the first thing I knew I had flown for about 49 minutes. I had promised the wife that I would clean the chimney today, so I had that to do before she went to town with the lady next door. (three miles away) I got the chimney cleaned and read for winter before the neighbor came over and they left me to my own entertainment. I decided to look at the video that I had taken and one thing lead to another and here it is. https://vimeo.com/141479109 password- owyheeflyer. Perhaps there is a video makers support group somewhere that could help me kick this habit? Oh by the way, I like the springs.
