| Subject: | Sweet HD Aircraft Video Cam |
I have the NFlightCam+ Contour camera but a field of view of 170 degrees
isn't bad for looking at the terrain out in front but if you are trying to
take pics of aircraft nearby they are way too small. I'm trying the 120
degree view option that NFlightCam has to see if it's better.

Some probably have already seen this, but I noticed that ACS has it on sale
right now for $399 plus an extra 10% off with the check out code "PILOT12".
I'd be interested to hear any impressions of the system and the actual 1080p
video quality.

| Subject: | Fwd: RV-10 / P-51 Formation Flight |
RV-10 Group,
We all know the RV-10 is great. I just thought I would share something
I did with my -10 that reinforces that a bit. I found myself in the
right place at the right time to lead a formation of restored P-51's
on a photo shoot flight over Colorado Springs (I know, bragging...). I
was concerned that my plane (still without paint or wheel pants) could
maintain sufficient speed to keep the Mustangs from falling from the
sky. As it turns out it worked great.
I had about 150 KIAS at 8,500' when I met the 2 ship 180 degrees out
over our rejoin point. I slapped on a monster 2.5G break turn (which
sadly almost put my camera man out) to get on their 6. I then
maneuvered the formation into a 3 ship echelon for our photo shoot. I
was able to keep about 130 KIAS in level flight, with everything I
could get out of my plane (2500 RPM, rich). It was August and the
engine was getting a bit hot, I played with the mixture to keep the
oil and CHT in the green/yellow. The Mustang pilot said this was OK,
but a bit mushy for him. It was interesting that the turbulence coming
off the mountains was knocking the RV-10 around as the -51's were
cruising nice and smooth. Another thing is how big that 11' foot
diameter prop looks when it is swinging that close to my little plane
(I'm used to close formation with pointy nosed airplanes).
The attached photos say it all.The RV-10 provided great visibility for
both me and my friend with the camera in the back. What a great
experience. (I also attached a photo of my plane over Maine.) You can
see my tail/wingtip in a couple photos. There was a camera in #3, but
I still have gotten that picture of N312JE next to "Little Horse".
Happy Holidays. Happy Flying!

Hey Jim, those are awesome photos and it's an awesome experience!
You can almost feel and see the high AOA of the 2 mustangs
in that side view...it's like a boat trying to get on plane.
Pretty cool! Wait until you get the wheel pants on...you'd make
them even happier.

| Subject: | Seat Rail Mounts - Invert the bolts? |
No matter how hard I try, my wrist don't articulate 165 degrees to install
nuts on the underside of the rail mounts (that sit on top of the gear
mounts).
Photo of the mount is here:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r51/philperry9/d7e03bbf.jpg
I know I'm going against the norm when I suggest inverting the bolts and
putting the nuts on top.
Before I do that, has anyone had success getting these nuts installed? If
so - how?
BTW-I can't find any part of the plans that define which bolt, nut, washer
combos or orientation for this step. If it's called out and I missed it,
please let me know so I can make sure I didn't miss anything critical.

Use a dab of fuel lube or any other sticky substance on your finger tip
to hold the nut so you can hold it on the end of the bolt threads while
you get the nut started.
I remember those to be very tricky, but it can be done.

remove the side cover panel and it becomes pretty easy to access three

Use masking tape to tape the nut and washer to your first or middle finger.
- Cut a hole in the tape so the bolt can penetrate and get started.- An
other way is to tape the not in a cloase end wrench.

4A's is what I came up with too.
I have no idea why the plans tell you to leave them off. If I had it to do a
gain, I wouldn't do that.
My hands are simply too big to get in there.

Far easier and quicker to lay a short piece of masking tape sticky side
up on a box-end wrench and push the nut onto the tape and down into the
wrench. It'll also work on the open-end if you can't get leverage to
pop the wrench off the tightened nut.
