OK, I have everything rigged up for movie making and tested out my camera mount (Oregon Scientific camera). I want to know what is going on with my nose wheel during takeoff and landing (who would care about it in flight). My fairing are now off for painting prep (my wrist is sore from sanding).
The first video is of taxi, takeoff and landing at Lenhardt airpark (7S9).

The next two are takeoff and landing on pavement one from 7S9 to UAO.

and then the return trip from UAO to 7S9.

I need to figure out how to turn off the sound because it doesn't help that much. I have edit the last two to reduce the length. The first one I chopped off the front and ends some, but should have edited down the middle to make it shorter. So while you are playing that one just skip over the downwind part of the pattern. I needed to do a 360 for spacing.
All takeoff and landings were done with the stick full aft. Taxi was done at a fast walk. I looks to me as though the most gear movement occurs while doing the taxi. I am not to concerned about my nose wheel on grass strips, but will add some extra support in the nose wheel fairing to disallow the nut to dig in.
Let me know if I didn't explain something in the video and any suggestions on how to improve the quality. It looks like youtube downsamples the videos. I noticed it was hard to see (too dark) sometimes. Next time I think that the camera will be pointing forward.
