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: 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...

Re: 5 pepper breakfast burrito
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...

Re: a couple printed widgets
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...

not too bad
once in a while I see a new photo. RV9A, not the fastest, not the sexiest, not good for rough grass strips, but what an airplane! 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...

RV10 - aircraft down - ASN Report - PP-ZJA
A Van's RV-10 crashed on the land belonging to the flying club named Associação Barreirense Aerodesportiva (ABA). All three on board perished as a result. 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-...
