 |

The weather guesser site claimed that the winds would be 2 MPH until at least 12 PM, so I rolled the Firestar out to check the ranch next door's Pothole field for bogged cows. I decided that if the winds permitted I would go back up into the hills for a fun flight. I filled my coffee cup, did my preflight and headed out. I both wanted to fly, and to have something new to practice the video editing program. So you will again be burdened with another video. I have a friend that believes that 2 to 3 minutes is about right for a video. I guess I am too long winded to do that. I cut this one at least three times, and it still is too long.
The flight covered 1 hour and 24 minutes, and I had a headwind both directions. The wind went right through 2 MPH and ended up at about 10 MPH.
My destination was a ranch owned by the father of my neighbors. He has a Cessna, and at a recent birthday party next door, enquired as to why I had never come up to his ranch. I decided that I would take care of that problem.

Thanks for that. Good video and you have excellent taste in music. I spent my day working on the hangar. Cold front came through last night and we had a July 4th that only got up to about 78 degrees.

You've sure mastered that editing program, Larry. And editing is the key to good videos. Also the choice of music, and particularly the commentary, make your videos a joy to watch. Keep it up.

Thank you for the compliment. Are you still in this country, or have you gone home? You've been pretty quiet lately.Larry

Yeh, still in the US, really only just started this trip. Haven't done any flying yet, been too busy on this project in Denver.
Helping friend Tony build a Savannah S kit, an all metal two place sort of like the one I have in OZ. Today we finished the build, and prepped it for painting. Took us 230 hrs over 20 days. Not bad for a couple of older fellas..... This ICP Savannah kit is great. They really know how to use CNC equipment to best advantage. 14,000 holes and they all lined up! So just a matter of finding the right pieces in the big box and clecoing and riveting. Slowest part is reading the construction manual, which is pathetic..... So it's mostly just like a big jigsaw puzzle, dig around through the pieces looking for one with the pattern of holes that will match the last piece, and then usually it's the right piece and won't fit anywhere else...
I'll be here until the end of the month, then on the road, and hope to catch the biker's rally in Sturgis, SD before heading on up to Alberta for the mandatory relatives visit.
