Larry,

I just tried to view your video on my iPhone and it took

Me to the right page and shied me a still shot but had circle with a hash mark thru it indicating it would not play. So then went to a random vid

 I just got my new Tachyon XC HD micro camera yesterday. I  made a short flight last evening to see what the picture quality is like. I did  make some of the clips pretty short, trying to keep the size down for upload.  First test is hopeful. It took me on my Baud rate about 60 minutes to upload  this, not that much more than for the other camera.

Oops.  .... To a random video on vimeo and was able to view it. My question is this. What format is your video in? Does vimeo convert uploaded videos to their own format (guessing not) or keep them in their native format. I have been ablest view your earlier videos on iPhone and iPad and my iMac.

I have a Tachyon OPS HD on order. Can't wait!

  

 Did you fast forward or speed up the movie in any way? It looks twice normal speed. What procedure did you use to unload from the cam to your computer and then upload? What video editing software?

Larry, FWIW, I just viewed your video on my PC without a hitch.  The HD quality is just great.  Thanks for posting it.  So, for my 2 cents, take as many videos as you like and I'll be watching for sure.

Larry, 

I was at the hangar this morning when I tried to view your video on my iPhone and it did not work. I am home now and tried it on my iPad and it worked fine. I then tried it again on the iPhone and it still did not work. Since I upgraded the op sys on the iPhone last week but not yet done so on my iPad, I suspect my problem is localized to my newest op sys. 



Great video quality! Flying close to the ground as you were doing in this video, makes 65-70 mph look like over a hundred if you are used to flying above 500' agl.



As always, thanks for your great videos.

That's interesting. What height agl do you guys usually fly? You always seem 

to give your heights above sea level but the fact that you are at 10,000feet 

doesn`t really mean much.

I flew  for an hour last night. Almost no wind and the air was smooth. 

Climbed out to about 1000ft.. Backed off the throttle as CHT`s were 

climbing. Cruise is usually 2600rpm which gives about 70mph. Climbed to 

1500ft to sniff around a couple of hot air balloons. They took pictures.

Dropped a bit lower to take a look at a farm strip with a couple of planes 

on it. Watched one take off and followed him for a while.Climbed with him to 

around 2000ft.

Wandered off to look at a large quarry hole. Got a slight bump from a last 

lingering thermal coming off the hot stone face. This reminded me of landing 

out in my glider many many years ago when I failed to find a thermal coming 

from the same source. Flew hands off. Slight tendency to bank left. Nose 

dropped gently until the vario showed 2knots down and then it rose slowly 

and then  repeated. Not self correcting so had to fly her again. About 15 

miles from my strip at that point at 1700 ft agl so turned for home. 

Throttled back and began to slide downhill  until close to the strip. 

Dropped to around 1000ft, No one else about. Straight in approach. Throttle 

back, 50 mph, First stage of flap. A bit high, Second stage flap. She drops 

comfortably into the slot. 500ft Back to first stage flap. 350ft  Throttle 

back a bit, Speed a little high, nose up a touch. Close throttle and nudge 

the nose down a shade as we drift over the hedge. Taxy in, push her into the 

hangar. Put the covers on and close up the hangar. Wife turns up and we go 

to a local pub for a couple of pints and a steak..End of a perfect flight.

Pat,



Depends upon where you live/fly. In western NY, we have to be careful of altitude for both legal and safety reasons. There is a lot of agricultural area here outside the cities but also lots of small towns and residences with precious little undeveloped area except for forests. The FAA says no closer than 500' from any person, structure or vehicle and 1,000' above "congested" areas is the normal minimum, except on departure and approach.



Where Larry lives and flies, I suspect there are few if any mobile/cell towers or other tall structures that could snag him and few people, vehicles or structures which would require 500' clearance to stay legal. Certainly no areas that the most liberal interpretation would be called "congested". BTW, the FAA does not define "congested area" but in court, sometimes the interpretation has been as few as 3 houses in close proximity to each other, or so I've heard. I have no intention of finding out the hard way. When flying on the Lake Erie or Lake Ontario shoreline (off shore a bit) I am comfortable getting down to 100' agl or sometimes a bit less. A sudden unexpected sneeze at 20' agl could ruin the flight.

Sounds like the end of a perfect day, not just a perfect flight -- your wife is a gem; to pick you up & feed you steak & a pint!

Tell her I said so 

Your CHT's normally climb that much in  a climb?

FWIW I usually fly at 500-1000 AGL because I Iike to look around, and take pictures. We must maintain 1000' over 'populated areas'

fair winds,

Russ

Hi Thom,



that would describe my area and the Flight Rules are the same. Fields are 

probably smaller than yours but there is usually something big enough to get 

into when it all goes quiet.
