It was about 9AM and the winds were picking up. We wanted to depart earlier but could not find a ride from the hotel to the airport!

He Dan...it was pretty early morning and pretty smooth, just a little burbling over and around the mesas. It doesn't take much to disturb these tiny airplanes!

@@MrMorden00 looks like a super fun adventure. I'm looking forward to the day I can take my Sonex out and do something similar ... but that's probably still a couple of years away. 🫤

@@dan_der_flieger good luck with you build! I was building a Sonex for several years, it's a lot of fun.

It was video taken by a friend...that's all he gave me.

It's an AGM TS25-384 thermal scope. Video taken from the built-in recording function.

Thanks! Cheers!

Thanks Dennis! I have a RAM ball mount with their shortest arm attached to the side of the instrument cluster/panel.

Aerie - 1GA9.

Thanks, but it's not really amazing airmanship... just speed and glide path management. That's what I was saying on Spudknocker's video -- It's much easier to come in fast at a shallow descent angle and "fly it on" to the runway, but you end up using all the available runway and that doesn't leave many options if something goes wrong. For example if you have a brake failure you end up either having to go full power and take back off again (if you can), or overrun the end of the runway.

Thanks! It's fun to land at little grass airstrips.

Me too! Amazing skills!

@@raymondyu18ify Thanks!

How terrible I wasted your valuable KZbin surfing time. You clicked it, not me, my friend.

Thanks for wasting my time again

@@esaskykke7600 my absolute pleasure.

@@MrMorden00 he is right, what bullshit

He wasn’t wrong, it was a deer on the runway, go get your sick kicks on live leak.

Thanks for that. This was literally my first landing on grass ever, I think I did pretty well. I since have hundreds of grass landings in this airplane with zero gear damage.

My CTSW is very slippery, so compared to mine the Legend is quite slow. His normal cruise speed is about 85-90mph, my cruise is 130-140mph.

This is not a legend cub. It’s a CTLS.

gavinandabby He is flying his CTLS with another plane , a Legend Cub ....

What type of airplane do you fly?

FlyingMonkey 2008 CTLS. Live in Arizona.

CTs are easy on directional control, you shouldn't have any issues with narrow strips in light wind if you land nice and slowly. It would be a different story with a castoring nose wheel...

FlyingMonkey I only have 210 hrs of flying. 110 hrs in my CTLS. I have watched all of ur videos over the past year. Watching and learning. Thanks for the videos!

It doesn't move at all with the doors off, so trust justified! :)

Hey David. The mount is a Ram mount 1" ball attached to the side of the instrument panel "mushroom", with an aluminum backing plate inside. Then there is a 6" Ram arm connected to a Ram iPad cradle. I'm using the iPad Air 2, some guys like the smaller iPad Mini units better. Here's a pic of the actual mount setup: i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj277/MrMorden00/ipad_mount1_zpshvhzd9sg.jpg Andy

+Tomas Hez It's a 2007 Flight Design CTSW.

It's a Flight Design CTSW, I bet

I love putting the camera there, but there is a huge problem with camera shake. I can mostly fix it with anti-shake filters, but that then leads to the effect in this video where it seems like the camera is detached from the airplane and "floating." I will do more like this soon, but I'm trying to find a better mounting system. Currently I'm using the GoPro high-speed suction mount. It works great in some places like under the wing or on the belly, but seems to get a lot of wind action on the tail.

If you place it directly on the tail fuselage it shouldn't be too bad. But of course, I don't mind a little camera shake, I know that it's pretty much impossible to not have any without a special homemade camera mount. For a plane I don't mind a little bit of wind buffering since one has to expect some with a airplane. To me, the camera position and the experience is a ton bit better. If the camera is placed just about on the tail fuselage probably in the center area of the tail the video will be really interesting and exciting.

Also, you should do the video without youtube stabilize operation, all that does is mess up the video and make it look like sometimes the camera is detached and floating. Shake itself isn't too much of a problem as long as the video is a awesome camera mounting position.

....I also thought this video was quite awesome and I'd love to see a longer one, it really created the illusion that you were flying with the airplane.

+MrMorden00 Have to say though, the way the camera seems to move it almost looks as if the viewer is actually riding on the airplane holding a camera. Really do love these style video's, especially when they're low enough and I would love to see another video just like this with this same viewpoint. Perhaps make it longer, maybe around 10 minutes long. Also, about this video, do you have the original version with the entire flight, that's if the camera was recording ever since take off until finally the final landing. If there was a video of the entire flight, I'd love to see the full original video, without starting from the middle.
