I had a chance to take a look at Steve and Al's aluminum gear installation (in a DF) and they did a really nice job! The ability to remove the canard (and wing) from a DF has always been a neat

We have not yet done a Weight & Balance. We took a lot of measurements when having the Grove landing gear made, in an attempt to maintain the same height off the ground. The pilot seems to sit just a

Thanks so much for the pointers, Jon. I will look into the Smart Remote. Sounds like it I will simplify things. Much appreciated. Cheers, Jay

No doubt... GoPro Quik is not very intuitive. Once you select a media file and add the desired "gauges", select the scissor icon (Create a Clip). This allows you to select the portion of the media

Thanks Kevin. I guess I should looked harder. I think that this is what Mike Dwyer has used on some of his. I will download and compare to what I have purchased. Cheers, Jay

Not sure but I might have a money tree on the way..this time it is nearer to the homestead. Oklahoma City..not Seattle. If that one happens then an AV30 is definitely on the way and I will opt for

DashWare does the same thing, roughly, and is free: http://www.dashware.net/ Kevin -- Kevin

Good ideas, Vern. I think all of the movie recording options on phones, now include the GPS, so I suspect the ipad, iphone and android platforms will all work for what you describe. I will try a video

Thanks Corbin, I don’t have the Garmin camera, but I am sure it is very nicely buttoned up like all of the other Garmin gear. I got a deal on the GoPro, so I took that plunge. Seems like most of

Hi Jon, Thanks for the feedback. You have much more experience with this stuff than I do, so I always appreciate you chiming in. I did try GoProQuik initially (and use it on my phone to control

Jay, It is interesting and useful to pilots..maybe to others that are curious about learning to fly and would like to see what we actually do and why. Jim adding AV30's to his panel and with the

Hey Jon.. when you get the tree to bloom Ben Franklins let me know!! Every time my wife has me go with her to the garden centers I look for them money trees...I even ASK for them!! On a more

That would work also. But as you noted, not much real estate to work with at the fuselage and canard junction. Lots of challenge. Still, it is a possible venue. Steve..using the Grove gear, how did

On the Dragonfly list there are members asking about the spring steel MKII design. I have a copy of the sketch and it includes the materials used but I suspect it may be in the archives hereon

I helped a fellow builder install a Grove aluminum gear, on his Dragonfly. There were plenty of challenges in finding a location for the attach points, reinforcing the fuselage structure, machining

Steve, Testing a few layups to see how size increases with time was my thought, I was just trying to avoid multiple shipments from AS&S. Michael, You are correct, DBFN 43 is the one that I am using

I’ll add that the Garmin cameras have this built in as well. Many different options on how to display it within the app probably similar to the GoPro telemetry data. Corbin -- Corbin N121CG

Thanks for the heads-up Jay - looks interesting. I suspect you already know but just in case, you can also use the free GoPro Quik to do similar. The problem with the instrumentation in Quik is that

It’s called Telemetry Overlay for Windows. They also have a version for Mac. It’s $100. Cheers, Jay

I believe there are a few examples of homebuilt hoop gear in the Dragonfly newsletters; page 7 of Issue 43 is just one example. IIRC, a latter issue even had color photos. Dragonfly Builders and
