 |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbYkWBD5dEo&feature=channel&fmt=18
This is my 1st video flying my Kolb. I tried to take more footage but the camera kept turning off in the plane so no flying or takeoff footage.
The camera has a few safeguard features to protect it from damage from mishandling. I deactivated them so i hope this will solve the problem. I am not sure why it worked on the landing footage.
My camera is a Sony Handycam SR-45 30 GB HDD. I have it mounted to a tripod which is strapped down in the passenger seat with bungee straps.
What is the best file format( best quality for the file size) to upload to youtube?

GrantR,
Good to see you got a camera and are posting videos. I really liked the angle of your landing video, as you can see the insturments, your stick inputs, and outside at the same time... Do more with that same setup !!!
DIVX seems to be the best quality for the file size, it shows up as an .mpeg 4 when I make the movie in Pinnacle Stuido 11. My 10 minute video was 500 MB. Make sure you make the video size in full 1080i HD so that it will play in HD in YouTube. That is a video size of 1080×1920. It took mine a week to come up in HD on you tube, it was there as a regular video first, then one day the "Watch in HD" appeared. With that camera, you should be able to get some really good quality videos from your Kolb.

You guys want to talk about landing videos.
Here is a video clip John Bickham made when I landed at his strip for the
Nauga Flyin 2008.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAd10ZDKuwM
I approached steep (got to to get over the trees and power line) and was
ready to touch down at the approach end of the 1500 ft strip. Rather than
ground taxi all the way to the south end, I decided to air taxi, in ground
effect, with minimum power, at about 30 mph, full flaps, fully controlable.
Looks like I "air taxiied" (hovered) a good way down the strip. Kolbs are
fun!
And.........I did it without any assistance from ___ ___'s. You'll have to
fill in the blanks.

We have a beautiful day in Alabama. Sun shine, CAVU!
Got a new DRE6000 ANR headset for Xmas to replace my old one. Need to do a
little flying to see if it is going to get the job done. My hearing had
degraded to the point I can not hear and understand without the ANR. Of
course, where I fly, I can fly legally without a radio, if I have to.
Hope everyone had a merry Xmas.

You may find it's not your hearing so much as the headset.
I flew my FSII with a rather crappy old headset and, when I moved it to KSAF, I could barely hear the tower at all. Even with the radio all the way up and with 20db foam earplugs underneath I could only catch every other word.
Tower would have been more upset if it weren't for the pretty little kolb floating around the airport entertaining them.
I got a telex 50D ANR a few months ago and that fixes all the problems with that even in the titan which is louder than my FS II was. I'd love to try it in an FS II to see how it works.
But you're right, your hearing can't be replaced so investing in a good headset is a cost-no-object type thing IMO....

John et al:
I also have a DRE6000 that has proved to be very effective. Since it has not always been handled gently, I have been absolutely paranoid since Avionics West of TN stopped carrying them and I couldn't find them elsewhere.
So John, where did Santa find you a DRE6000?
Happy 2009 to everyone!
We have the same beautiful day in SW FL!

George A/Gang:
Santa found the DRE-6000 at Aircraft Spruce.
Yes, I had the same feelings as you when DRE went out of business.
I had tried a $800.00 David Clark X headset that did not come up to the DRE
in my airplane. Finally, got my money back.
Here is the info and part number from Aircraft Spruce:
