Okay..."Escort Service" and "Doing something naughty in the lav"...I thought I was on the wrong forum for a minute.

First, congrats! Great job flying the plane. On to the decision-making section of the post ;). This is a strange situation that I'm not sure I personally would have been comfortable with, but that quoted part above is the most comforting part of your response to in my mind...it shows you...

Welcome. Why don't you start the instrument training now WHILE you do the 10 hour checkout. No reason you can't do instrument training while you're knocking out the 10 hours of dual, right?

I have not ever used either a stormscope OR XM weather, and in the summertime ALL of my flying is around convective activity, for the most part. Wow...pilots are getting soft. ;) It's pretty easy to see convective activity. Of course, if you're flying in IMC with embedded thunderstorms or on...

Ha! Thanks for your vote of confidence. :) Actually, while I'm on a runway in the picture, it happens to be 31-13, not 09 that I had just landed on. I was taxiing back to the west on the grass and had to cross that runway, and that's when he snapped the picture. On arrival, they had me land on...

Looks like he got me after landing, too. http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/N6693M.html Interestingly, I discovered a few months ago that one of the other pics of 93M on that site was taken a couple of years ago when my wife and I and another couple went to San Diego for a weekend (KMYF)...

Hmmm, you guys were standing about 10 feet apart at that yummy POA dinner in Scholler. Then again, you didn't even recognize me at first...so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. :wink2:

Have fun AND practice your weaker spots (remember to keep that speed up during steep runs...makes the easier). --Sent from my Windows Phone using Board Express

Dang, Mike. That's a bummer. Maybe you could fly up with me on the 23rd and fly home early in a human mailing tube. Sent from my SGH-i917 using Board Express

Wow...that sentence could easily be misconstrued. :wink2:

Nate, we're leaving the morning of the 23rd (Saturday) and besides getting over the Rockies by heading to Las Vegas, New Mexico, it's pretty much a straight shot. When are you leaving? Once hitting the midwest, we could certainly stop at the same place to grab dinner if our days coincide.

No doubt.

I've done that, too, Nate. In fact, I've tried almost every method of recording, I think. :). I know you know this, but keep in mind that Line Level input is much higher than mic level, and most consumer recorders and video cameras only support mic input. So for people using a device that does...

Speaking of which, it looks like I might have an open seat in the 182 from Phoenix to OSH and back (leaving Sat the 23rd and returning Saturday the 30th, and budgeting two days either way) if anyone is interested in sharing expenses. I did post on the EAA rides share site, but no hits yet. A...

I have one quick question that I'm not sure is spelled out completely in the press release. I made the assumption that ALL airports are open to claim again...not just those that weren't claimed before. It sounds like other people are assuming the opposite; if it was claimed two years ago, it's...

Please report your findings, Dave. I'd be interested, too.

Be careful with this, though. The levels from the panel generally have to be attenuated down to mic input levels to work with an audio recorder/video recorder. Just splitting the audio will usually produce very poor,or even unusable results (depending on the flexibility of the recording...

Oh...didn't know that. I bet you're right. I have a go pro and since they use firmware to flip the video, I just assumed contourhd does the same thing. Since the contour is round, it makes since to leave it infinitely adjustable.

Interesting video...I might try that adapter on my GoPro HD. I think, though, that the "Aviator Lens" must include some sort of circular polarizer, though, rather than just ND filters, because it appears to have directionality (notice the angle meeter in the side of the lens). With the adapter...

I had that happen to me once, too. Not sure why. Another time it happened, I realized I had accidentally chosen one of the weather charts instead by accident (which, of course, can't be pulled up without a connection). I've always wondered since if that wasn't my problem the first time...but it...
