What settings do you use to stop outside view from inside cockpit from being too bright. I can film inside ok but outside is way too bright. Any help appreciated.

In this video, I had gopros inside shooting out, and I pretty much just use automatic (except exposure down a notch and sharpness all the way down) with a ND filter on it to slow the shutter speed. As for the Insta360, I just shoot auto with the EV at -0.5. Hope that helps!

I've seen a lot of talk about it, and this one had gear extenders that moved the axles forward a few inches to match where the later cessna 140s axles are to help. That said, we took them off during an annual because it dropped the nose an inch and a half and added a few pounds. You can see the results in one of my other videos, but the long and the short... I think it tracks better, and even though the tail comes up a bit easier, if you keep the yoke back and are easy on the brakes, it isn't an issue. If you're at OSH, I'm here through Saturday and would love to chat!

In ours, the empty weight is 904lbs, so with a gross weight of 1450, useful is 546. Full fuel is 25 gallons, or 150lbs. That leaves a payload of 396lbs. Of course, every aircraft has a different empty weight with paint, upholstery, and/or fancy panels, so YMMV!

We often use it for exactly that, but we've had to pack pretty light to stay under gross. Check out my video on lightweight airplane camping gear, I go over what gear I use and the weight or the reason I use it. Compared to a lot of similar airplanes like Luscombes, Taylorcrafts, Champs, Chiefs, and Cubs, I think the 140 is a really good balanced set of trade-offs. Compared to a Super Cub though, well that could carry you, your mother-in-law, and a moose carcass out of a shorter strip 😉

I used to have a C140 (140LB, we named her Lusty Betty), we didn't have those window latches - ours were much smaller and basically just held the window closed. With the window open it would float up and lay against the bottom of the wing in flight. We lost a window once, just days before we were going to Oshkosh, out over Galveston Bay. We were doing some videoing, opened the right window, and instead of floating up to the bottom of the wing like it usually did, it half opened, oscillated a bit then departed the aircraft. It's likely still at the bottom of Galveston Bay to this day.

Love that story! The latches sound more like the latches on a 150, which I'd greatly prefer. I had a similar predicament in an older 172 when flying around with the windows open. I didn't lose the window, but the blind nut on the window catch (didn't let it open all the way) fell off and into the window frame. I didn't really mind it opening all the way, but in the end, my mechanic (dad) decided to fix it 🙄
