Just use a magic marker. Plans available definite yes. Service ceiling 23,000 feet (just kidding) Russell On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 7:17 PM, airlion wrote: > > Jeff, P.F. Beck in Barnwell S.

I have no idea how to do it but I do have a video that many will find "interesting" and while I'm not proud of my bad landings, it is always fun to watch them and critique accordingly.

If everyone made greased on, spot on landings every time, there would be a 50-way tie at every fly-in with a spot landing contest! I would gladly trade places with you and be bouncing down the runway once-in-awhile, to the vast enjoyment of others.who cares what they think, anyhow!

Many of the machine tools from his workshop are in the museum. There are two Aircampers and a Skyscout along with many artifacts from his home, workshop and life in Cherry Grove, Minnesota. It is a real treasure for anyone interested in the history of Mr. Pietenpol and the development of the Aircamper. Hey, remember Orrin Hoopman was just a kid when he started hanging around Bernard's workshop. Who do you think provided the encouragement? I am sure Vi Kapler could tell you stories about kids hanging around Cherry Grove just for the chance to get a ride in that airplane with an automobile engine. Yea! you can dream...

By that measure, all of my landings were good ones. And I never bent the airplane, so that's just icing on the cake.

The camera is a Panasonic DMC-ZS3 AVCHD Lite. It's Panasonic's effort at bridging the gap between point-and-shoot digital cameras and dedicated digital camcorders. It has true 12x optical zoom, which is why I bought it. As a camera, it _can_ do well, but it is worthwhile reading up on its use as much as possible to get the best results. The capabilities are great, but because they exist, just relying on the defaults means the pictures aren't as good as they could be. For instance, a Canon SD will give much better pictures right out of the box (but not nearly as good video). OTOH, the ZS3 _can_ produce great photos for the educated user (of which I am not one yet), but the videos are _great_ without much knowledge of the unit. One other caveat - it's a little bigger than other point-and-shoot cameras and the battery life is a bit short .

I have a dedicated camera for still shots, a Pentax *ist DS dslr camera that takes incredible pictures. We just don't have a camera with actual video capability. I will definitely consider this camera while I'm researching which one we end up with.
