CLUTCHCARGO - that’s the name. He was a funny cartoon seaplane pilot character from a TV show that aired here back in the 60’s. --- It’s a Chicago thing.

Father's Day Weekend

Up to Minocqua and back.

Here is a simulcast video - one taken from inside the cockpit, and at the same time - outside outboard on the left side of the elevator stab.  You can watch them at the same time - start the top video first and wait exactly 60 seconds, then start up the action from inside the cockpit (lower video).  Then you are synchronized.

Wing Camera outside the cockpit

Just recorded these 3 test videos yesterday.  Testing the new bullet camera located on the outer left side of the elevator, mounted on the outboard vertical stabilizer fin.  Will get better footage from Minocqua in northern Wisconsin soon.  Also lowered and moved forward the interior Hero2 GoPro camera mounted in the cabin between the front seats.  I think this will yeild a better angle to see whats happening outside front.

By the way, synthetic vision in amazing.  One can spot obstacles much easier and it is reassuring to see the runway coming in on a precision instrument approach.
