Antony,
Your area is beautiful! We flew low over the entire route to get better views. Since we live in Portsmouth, Ohio, we had to take pictures of Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Great Trip Report
Hi Ted,
Thanks for taking the time to document your recent trip with your photo albums. I especially like the way you placed the cover sheet on each album with your APRS track map. That's a great idea.
I also noticed some of your other albums. Your RV is definitely a travelling machine!
Looking forward to some more photo albums of your trips.
Don

Open Invitation
Thanks Ted. I am fortunate to live in such a beautiful area.
If you get back in this neck of the woods I would be very happy to fly with you up to Mt. Washington and Katahdin. Katahdin has a very unique shape from the back side that no one seems to photograph. Basically it looks like a giant volcanic crater that has been blow out on one side. In reality the "crater" was formed by the head of a glacier in the last ice age. Pretty neat stuff.

A picture of the cockpit left side showed a white block on the side support structure, just under the eyeball light. What is that?

Is that an Altoids-tin iPod amplifier just forward of the cupholder?

Negative, it houses a Micro-Trak 300 APRS tracker.

nince to meet you
It was great to meet Ted and his wife at my home field. We don't have many RV drop ins. I was very inspired by the fact that he was actually traveling a long distance in his plane. Seems to me that most plane owners just fly around the patch. I was also inspired by his IFR capability when he was able to depart in weather that would have been lousy for VFR. I hope to do my first flight today. When I get many hours behind me then I just might work on that IFR requirement. Thanks for the inspiration!

Andrew,
It was a pleasure to meet you at Carp. Best wishes on your first flight. I assume Kevin is free today to do the flight. Please PM me with your email address. I will send you some of the pictures we took of you.
Ted

Actually, I'm not doing the first flight. I didn't meet the requirements of Andrew's insurance company, as I did not do formal RV transition training. I did a tail wheel refresher with a local CFI, and a bunch of circuits with a coworker in his RV-6. Good enough to satisfy myself, but I don't have hull insurance on the aircraft.
Andrew - good luck with the flight testing. |
