High wind Dominator flying

[Michael Ray]

Great flights this week. The RFD Dominator handles wind so well that I look forward to the wind gauge reading at least 25 mph to 30 mph. In Florida, I would not even feel comfortable on the taxiway with the Cessna 152 that I fly there. Mon. was the Grandson, Tues. my heavy friend and Wed. was a pastor from Haiti. The pastor remained calm and never once prayed into the intercom. Our landing was the most perfect Stop and Drop that I've ever done.

Hi Joe

I use 1080p at 30 fps which is a narrow field of view and good for a 1920 x 1080 16:9 screen. There is a Hero 3+ on the front of the helmet and a less expensive Hero on the rear. Power Director 12 is the editing program. A picture is in the tread about "Where to mount GoPros"

Forgot to mention that the Viking engine is running great! The only problem that I ever had with it was the oil tank design which they replaced at no cost to me. I average between 4 and 5 gallons an hour depending on how heavy my passenger weighs.
