Re: Zizzo Liberte - folding bike

a little rain on the way out. on departure for home, wind 60 deg from the left 22, G27. left wind is worst case. needed some right brake on takeoff to keep it straight until the rudder became effective. my lucky water bottle returned after being missing for a month. picnic table at the perfect angle...

Re: a couple printed widgets

forward bracket version 2, better. for $30 you get a nice trail cam, batteries, 32 GB memory card, mounts, etc. and very clear to setup and operate. it works. amazing value. there is no way this trail cam can be built and delivered for $30 unless they are making millions of them. and yet the electro...

Re: a couple printed widgets

vert stab tri-cam.... a couple prototypes. they all seem to work but I don't like the center bracket on the last one. it pushes the camera too far forward and may catch more wind. if I were to use one today it would be the second one, but I needed to shave off some of the trial camera. I am modifyin...

Re: 5 pepper breakfast burrito

on the road, light rain and cool. stopped in to have a McDonalds breakfast burrito. for $2.59 you don't get much, and it was terrible. I can make a homemade burrito for less money and 10X better.

Re: a couple printed widgets

first protype vertical stab tri cam is pretty good. lifting the cam in place was easy with the rod but no wind in the hangar. need the rod fork. the mount is designed for that and should be fine for lifting in windy conditions. I'll be rolling back into Empire (Y87) this Summer with all cameras roll...

Re: 5 pepper breakfast burrito

guacamole on the side. not for the purest but I thought I would take the risk and try it. eat it on the side. would I do it again, maybe, but not normally because it reduces the pepper burn. you want the burn. homemade food is 10X better than restaurant, at least American fast-food restaurant, and t...

Re: a couple printed widgets

vertical stab cam mount.... brackets designed for .125 bend radius so I needed to find a way to make that radius. I used 3 sheets of .032 to make the bend radius. learned a couple things. when making a less than 90 bend you need to adjust the brake bend sight line. otherwise the brackets are perfect...

Running is good exercise

running is actually good for your knees. it is also good for the lungs for flying at 13.5K for hours. 3 to 5 miles a day will keep you in shape and can be done quickly. allows for more beer. https://www.nm.org/healthbeat/healthy-tips/fitness/is-running-bad-for-your-knees#:~:text=In%20fact%2C%20multi...

GPS Dock release slides.... these docks keep going. the method I use to print these makes them both thin and tough but takes more time.

comparing a couple green sauces. I like the Cholula green the best. Tabasco scorpion adds the heat. make the coffee really hot to get a free secondary burn. the cheese should be extra sharp. kick your feet up, crank the music and enjoy. you can really feel it when it finds your feet. forget the doct...

Re: a couple printed widgets

flattened bracket patterns with bend line locations. trying to make these angled brackets perfect the first attempt. part of the camera system to catch a perp. I don't like people that wilfully damage aircraft. https://i.postimg.cc/yxjTYJVv/IMG20240309144620.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/J0MqL3Ws/IMG2024...

what did you do this week - 2024FW9

after six years my suspa canopy gas struts were becoming weak. I believe Mike on this site was the first to recommend these struts many years ago. they last 3X as long as the factory struts and are higher loading. canopy bumpers may be some benefit. to make strut removal easy, remove the spring clip...

cable stop for mechanized wheel chock.... added a small cable to prevent the spring from ever being over extended. seems to work fine but has some end sticking out. I don't believe that will be a problem, but I'll test if for a while. the cable stop will only be used in case of an inadvertent direct...

Re: a couple printed widgets

vertical stab tri-cam. side brackets are .064 alum. monitor the entire airport. the most important thing is to talk to the FBO about having camera's rolling. at Jabara they could monitor my aircraft with the FBO security cameras. everything is recorded. I think I got extra attention by having my own...

Oshkosh 2022, after over twenty visits, this was my final time to go there. too many other places to go now. photo is owned by Mike Barker, Air-Britain Photographic. http...

Re: willful aircraft damage

Jabara, Clemens Aviation, said they would have security watching my aircraft. apparently, this guy was interested in my fuselage mounted side cameras. trail cam battery life is about 2/3, so probably good for 5-6 days. captured 267 photos. no problems with Clemens Aviation in Wichita, good FBO, very...

According to Globo G1, the plane took off around 10:20 lt, for a "test flight", crashing on the ABA terrain half an hour later. https://aviation-...
