Intended to fly Sunday morning after watching Mechazilla catch the Super Heavy Booster - 38 min in HERE (OMG!), but while driving out to the airport I saw a crowd at the tracks about two miles shy of the field - lots of cameras on tripods. I called Monk - turns out he was there. Union Pacific 4014 ‘Big Boy’ inbound (world's largest operational steam locomotive). Parked, waited, saw, picked my jaw off ground, drove home. No flying. Worth it.
The video I shot:
Hope you had a nice weekend.

Engine Speed: Half Sync
Hello all, I fly and RV12-iS with a Rotax 912is and Dynon Skyview HDXs. On the Dynon menu/engine screen I now get the faults on the picture below. There are no codes on the Rotax ECU. The engine runs fine but the faults are troubling because they are new (I finished the plane in 2019). I...
