Flight over Lake Tahoe
Here is an inspirational video for those still building. I left Minden-Tahoe KMEV flew over Lake Tahoe and the last part of the video shows me landing at my home airport KRTS. I'm using a GoPro 1080 mounted under my left wing. You couldn't ask for better weather last Sunday!

Neat 
Good perspective of a proper nose wheel takeoff.

You suck! I was standing in my garage on Sunday, looking west towards Tahoe drinking a beer after spending all day working on my -7, commenting to my wife what an AWESOME day it would to be flying, instead of in the garage building. Breezy, sunny, low 60's, not a cloud in the sky. For the first time I looked at my project and thought "I wonder if I should just sell it and buy a complete airplane."
Then I went back to installing the flap actuator.
Oh yeah, centerline is "optional!" Nice landing.

I'm so jealous!
I can't wait to have Tahoe and the eastern Sierra within 10 minutes from the hangar. Sure beats back-and-forth over Texas coastal prairie!
Thanks for sharing.

I really like the GoPro, the quality of the video is amazing! The video on youtube doesn't do justice to the camara. The camara took the video in 960p HD and you can actually see the texture of the runway during takeoff. It will record in 1080p as well, but my labtop won't play it for one reason or another.
I went to Best Buy to check out there video editing software, and the expert who helped me might as well been talking in German, but I ended up getting some pretty cool editing software by Sony, and after reading the directions for about 2 hours made this video.
I agree that I could do a better job of staying on the center line, will have to work on that
