New camera, new iPad mini, new editing software, and I haven't figured how to use any of it yet. I'm trying to figure out how to edit and upload a 360 degree video.
This was my last landing of the day. Actually it was last + 1. On what was supposed to be my last landing I managed to decapitate a small, fuzzy critter with the right brake line.
"Alvin and the Chipmunks" may be a duet now, or maybe they are just "The Chipmunks".
I got out, cleaned up the gore, and went around to make sure the brakes still worked.
I don't know why I bothered. It's a Cub. The brakes rarely work.

Looks fun! I’m going up in a cub at noon today - excited!
 
A one minute video about nothing.
But it is my first ever functioning 360 degree video.
The one big disappointment with the Insta360 One X is there is no way to connect an external audio source. I have to use a GoPro and splice in the audio. You are better off going to YouTube and pasting in the link, or open settings and pick 4K

I kinda like those 360 cameras
 
No flying, but I had a nice hike this evening before some weather moved through.

I keep forgetting about that place. A bit long for a lunch run, but maybe a mid-west lunch call there sometime would be good.

Headed to KECP in a few weeks, beach time! Never been there, nice airport?

Great shots! Where were those taken? I grew up in Idaho, though wasn't yet a pilot when I was there.

Thanks, glad you liked them! The airport is Smith Prairie (2U0) and the river/canyon is the South Fork of the Boise River close to Prairie, ID.

airport
-infrastructure awesome
-new, and far from town -so support has not caught up yet (zero gas/food/hotel for miles)
-fbo not all counter staff are mmm..)’southern-hospitable’?
-if staying on the strip, expect ‘youthful street noise’ til 2:00am
-there are probably beaches that are not overrun with hordes of people nearby but I didn’t have time to seek them out.
-what is with the new annoying fad of giving all 6 people (including toddlers) in a family 30,000 lumen, 6000K LED flashlites to carelessly blind oncoming night beachwalkers?

Reminds me of how I got my partner in the Mooney. He flew an Arrow over to my home field to look at it, and since I had a meeting at the field he rented the Arrow from afterwards, we were both flying the same route. I let him take off first...

"Arrow 13Whiskey, traffic 6 o'clock and 3 miles is a Mooney with a 40 knot overtake." :rofl: SOLD!!!

And here's what it looks like, though this is from a 172 so an even larger speed difference:

I was +35 as I went by, and I wasn’t running it hard, 24 square, as we were down low and I don’t like caning the engine hard down low.

Not good, shooting into the sun the camera focused on the dirty window and not the plane. Nothing but a blurry black blob.

Definitely - I'm a 65% LOP every time guy. But, the R at 65% is the same amount of power as the J at 91%! :eek: But you're probably only 10-15 knots slower than me on 20% less fuel burn. It's no wonder everyone flocks to the M20J!
