    Default December Kitfox flying in Arizona

    Out playing in my favorite Kitfox playground yesterday. Video is in cockpit and natural sound. For some reason the GoPro picks up noise that I do not hear in the headsets.
    Beautiful 70 degree afternoon with some play among the hills and a landing at Thunder Ridge. Hope you all are getting some flying in this weekend between Christmas shopping runs.

    Steve,
    Great video of flying in our neck of the woods! Most of mine, except for the occasional cross country, is done 9,500 to 13,500 above Benson and in the pattern at KFHU! For now, I'm living through you all until I can buy/build my own. Would love to have picked up that Model 4-1200 out of Missourri, but it looks like I may miss out. Enjoyed the flight with you...keep it up and fly safe!

    thanks for the flash back, what a memory that is. I too would like to know how you got the gopro to not do the prop flicker...

    In the video, you appear to be moving very fast. How fast were you going?

    The low pass was at 140 mph.
    The rest of the time I'm in the 110 to 120 mph range.

    Here is my modification I posted some time ago. It really works.

    Thanks for the Ride Steve. I tried to go up today in the NW but the clouds just wouldn't lift earlier in the day. The video sure was a treat after a day of building. Electrical Done! Hope to be flying soon.
