Hello all 

 long time lurker very seldom poster (nothing  usually to post usually here trying to learn as much as I can from the  long time kolb pilots on the list) .Last weekend I finally got a few bits of  video shot and I thought as I have seen lots of clips from the USA I thought  some of you may like to see a little bit of England. The flight was from Ince  Blundell airfield just outside liverpool and if anyone is interested (and if I  got it right ) 53 32 06 17  N  3  01 53 39 W on google earth  should point you to my trailer /hanger  ( The centre trailer of the three  shown there ) and although it was not my best landing ever I would still like  any comments

Very nice Eddie. What a treat, just got in from an evening flight to go see a buddy I haven't seen in over 25 years, came back and made a 5 minute chocolate cake to celebrate and found the link to your videos. Looks like Kolb country to me.

Thanks for the video, the view is a bit different than  what I am used to.

Eddie,

 enjoyed your videos.

 What sort of compass is that and how is it attached  to the windscreen?.  It looks a bit heavy to be just stuck on and I baulk  at drilling holes in the Lexan.

Hi Pat / all on list

  To be honest I dont know the make of the  compass  ( I will check later when I go down to the field)  I  think it is for a boat and has a hole underneath for mounting on a strut of some  sort .It was on the aircraft when I bought it, but, held on with velcro in its  current position. It was usually on the floor before lift off because of  bouncing along the rough ( ish ) runways  so I did drill the lexan and  used a Brass screw and nut to hold it in place but through another piece of  lexan about 1 " square outside the screen to spread the load away from the  drilled hole . if you look again you can just make out the corner of the  extra  lexan  slightly darker as it was from the original tinted ( and  badly scratched and cracked  screen ) So far have had no problems with  this mounting ( after around 45 hrs ) and no signs of cracking or strain  around the  mounting hole, and it went through some pretty firm arrivals  when I was teaching myself how to get the kolb back on the floor. Probably  helps that although it looks substantial the compass casing is only plastic and  so not actually very heavy . I have never checked  to any degree how  accurate the compass is apart from making sure that it shows as near as makes no  difference  the same heading as the runway when taking off and landing  . The type of flying I do does not really need an accurate compass ( probably  not at all ) . I am a lorry ( Truck ) driver and spend all week away from home  and do approx 1800 to 2000 miles a week so at the weekend just getting airborne  and floating around the local area is the way I unwind. The last thing I want to  do is sit in something for hours on end travelling  to and from   somewhere again.

  Thanks for the nice comments to  all and  when possible I will try another video and  maybe add some music or titles  when I can work out how its done

Thanks for the videos, Eddie.  Always nice to see where others are flying. The Irish Sea looked a lot calmer than our Lake Eire is most of the time, but at that altitude it is hard to see the waves. 



How much are you paying for petrol for your 582 these days?

Hi Thom

   The sea was pretty flat it was a nice  evening flight with just a few bumps here and there in the circuit as the  heat left the day the advantage of flying in my local area is that if you  get tired of bouncing around you can always head out over the bay and find  smooth air for a bit of a rest before wrestling your way around the circuit.  Locally mogas is around £1 16/ 17p per litre   so filling to the brim  with fuel  is around £46 plus oil .Thankfully my 582 seems pretty frugal  compared to others here at Ince If just pottering around at about 50/55 mph it  can be  using around 12 litres per hour at full weight (390 kgs in the  uk)

I dont know the make of the  compass  >>

  

 Hi Eddie,

 It looked a bit like a Silva that I used to have on  my boat so you could well be right. It was a sort of globe which could be  mounted at all angles.

 With my Extra I think I have a greater expanse of  unsupported Lexan than you?.

 I have been using a battery driven, very light  plastic, car compasswith a suction cup, from Halfords but it has given  up the ghost and  it doesn`t seem to be on the shelves any  more.

 I don`t think there are many pilots who can fly  within 5 degrees either side of a given course, specially when its a bit  thermic, so spot on accuracy from a compass is wasted. There is always the one  on the Garmin anyway.

 I didn`t realise that you had so many windmills  along the coast up there. Damn things are all over the place.I think that  its  just the government trying to show us that they are doing something as  they are not very efficient. Putting the money into some tide driven electricity  production would, I think be a much better proposition

  

 Cheers

  

 Pat
