Brian, all your pictures show up as a minus sign inside a circle.............

bspellerin 01-25-2020 05:11 AM

That's strange, I can see them when I look at the thread. I myself have difficulty seeing other peoples pics most of the time.

Sorry about that, I did just as the YouTube video showed.

no pics
 
Yeah,
No pics for me either.

Where are you hosting your pictures? If Google Photo, these instructions have always worked for me: http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...73&postcount=7

Sorry fellas, not sure what's going on. I can see them on my personal and company computers, but not my iPad. That's why I don't like doing it from a web storage site and not directly from my computer. Oh, well.

I'd guess a permissions issue with google.

Yes. It has to be in a shared or public folder. I found that out after I made the video. One of my Google Photos folders has always been shared with VAF, but when I tried to share from another photo I had the same problem - I could see the photos here, but no one else could. Doug helped me figure out the problem; now anything I share here has to be in that shared folder.

That is an interesting comment by the previous owner but glad he decided to sell if he wasn't ready or able to learn how to fly it. Perhaps an accident was prevented....

Congratulations on your purchase of a beautiful RV-8 and best wishes for many enjoyable years flying it!

Wish me luck
 
OK, I tried using SmugMug as opposed to Google Photos, hope this works. My transition training was easier than this.

Thank you, I'm really enjoying it.

I don't believe the previous owner had any tailwheel time at all, or very little. He and his father flew it to Calif, he mentioned to his wife his landings were scary and that did it for her.
