Hahahaha, it's a wonder the aircraft can take flight...

(Video pulled and being replaced with one that has louder volume levels)

Hopefully this is better:

New altitude record!

http://www.cloudahoy.com/debrief/?key=qexQSCiiBFfazU8Jj4I

One of those times where I think to myself "why bother with the GoPro" and then curse myself later. The reason I climbed so high was there were some singular puffy clouds at 5K, and I flew up and around them, pretending they were balloons.

This is one of my favorite things to do when they present themselves, and I have yet to bring along a camera when it happens.

[edit]

GPS track is a little off on landing. I was lined up for and landed on the runway. smile

Woah that Cloudahoy site is awesome! Really cool to be able to go 3d mode on your flight. If you gopro it then we can go along for the flight via what you upload to site?

Speaking of losing oil quickly, my old and trusty 308 V8 spat out the oil line from the rear of the gauge (brass fittings with olives) one morning, by the time i smelt the oil she was nearly empty. Filled up the passenger side of the floor with near three and a bit litres of oil. Bonus, that floor pan will probably never rust wink

The glue may not conduct electricity but I bet that metal can it was packaged in will. neaner
I am finding it intriguing watching your videos and am looking forward to your next video on the fabric. I have seen, and I stress the word seen, it done at Planes of Fame a few times and will be interested to see how your method compares to theirs.

Ajay, I've actually put the glass cockpit onto YouTube video (another crazy feature of CloudAhoy is to be able to import video):



As to the glue, there are TWO warnings about turning off gas valves before using the glue on the tin.

It really, really makes me want to run a strip of it onto a piece of steel and see how it burns.

A couple of these and you can secure the vice temporarily to your saw horse and they are quick release making the setup quick, easy, AND portable.

I only use those for heavy duty jobs!

The funny bit about that whole hacksaw part is that Clark's "help" in holding the end of the aluminum strip was the exact opposite of help - he was putting tension on it, forcing it to act like a spring and out of my hand. Indeed, both Mike and Clark were being the opposite of help that day (which happens sometimes) and eventually realized it and wandered off.

I fixed the rudder stops the next day, as I had the center section on and wanted to go flying!

On the videos themselves:

The wife says my editing skills are getting better, and is going to get me a wireless microphone so the audio isn't total crap. I'm also trying to keep them to five minutes long; like most strong smells I'm best tolerated in small doses.

I'm not really sure exactly why I'm making them - there aren't enough views or interest in them to feed any sort of ego, but it's sort of fun.

Plus it will help in case I ever need to repair what I'm fixing. The whole problem with that center section is that it's one area I didn't document when I put it together, and since I have the memory of a goldfish I'm having to re-invent the wheel.

At any rate, any suggestions or criticisms of the videos would be great.

I have been waiting for an invite to make another visit.

Things are super crazy and odd in my household right now. Nothing seriously bad, just nearly all consuming.
