At 6:30am, I was the only one on the fieldfor a short time. It was 50=81=B0F on the ground, but closer to 45=81=B0 at altitude, but quite comfortable (I put the forward cover on). I don=99t care for the noise or the shaking at this location and will most likely not do any more videos from here. Gary Boothe NX308MB ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:21:58 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: front instrument panel From: "jarheadpilot82" Paul, That seems like an expensive way to get instrumentation to the front seat. That seems way more expensive than putting a second hand altimeter, airspeed, compass, and maybe engine rpm in front. Plus, how are you going to power them? Battery? What if the battery gets used up? Wire it for electrical? Seems unnecessarily complex. If you had a stratus or some other GPS, an iPad could be synced with it, and you could get instrumentation, except for RPM. But the same issues noted above apply here. -------- Semper Fi, Terry Hand Athens, GA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=441959#441959 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 08:42:26 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Video from the tail From: "at7000ft" [quote="gboothe"]http://youtu.be/fuU8bf0vqvM (http://youtu.be/fuU8bf0vqvM) A much edited video of yesterdays flight. At 6:30am, I was the only one on the fieldfor a short time. It was 50F on the ground, but closer to 45 at altitude, but quite comfortable (I put the forward cover on).

Gary Boothe NX308MB > [b] Also mounted a camera on the top of my VT for my first couple flights. Way too much shake unless power was pulled back to 50-60%. I also use a front cockpit cover in winter and 50 degree F ground temp is about my lower limit. Mount my gopro on the cabanes or flying struts now.

That's about when I was getting up, yesterday. Cai and flew to Paradise in the Waiex and we were tempted to go to Lincoln and check on you , but my grandson had to get back for some reason. Great video. Cai as a Go Pro, so we intend to get some video some time.

Just mount a nexus7 with the gopro app on the front inst board, problem will be where to mount the camera pointing at your rear inst board? On your chest?

You could mount it on your shoulder harness straps just like a police body armor video camera. I would also think you could mount it on the seatback over your shoulder and use different wedges to cushion it and so that it gets the picture you want. Do you actually need to go pro apps? or is it that much better than other apps for free? We actually have 3 or 4 year old android phones that were have been replaced as they are obsolete. One has a cracked screen and it costs more to fix than the phone is worth. We loaded them with free kids apps and let our preschoolers play with them.

Altitude, compass, turn and bank and several other instruments could be on a self contained $180 Samsung mini tablet plus some fairly cheap program. One of the cub clones uses an iPad mini and remote sensors. The only steam gauge instruments are an air speed and a needle and ball. The FAA signed off on it as a prebuilt LSA.

I already have an ipad and was planning on getting a gopro anyway. im installing a cigarette lighter type power supply in rear so the only thing needed to run up front is a power extension from the rear. since I dont currently have a gopro I dont know if it could be mounted in such a way so that the display looks acceptable. I dont believe you can adjust the lens on the gopro. it would be pretty cool to have full engine instruments up front while my boys or myself are in that seat. and when flying by myself just unvelcro (or whatever) the ipad. might be fun for someone who already has a flying piet to play around with. -------- Paul Donahue Started 8-3-12 do not archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=441977#441977 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
