Yes Sir, used the pole from the group buy and a few other pieces.

Please excuse my photo-stuff ignorance - but how can the pole you used for camera mounting not be visible in those pictures??

I'm using an Insta360 camera, they have a lens on both sides, it can see everything except along the seam, so the pole is in the camera's blind spot. The camera uses AI to stitch the seam making the pole invisible,, cool right??

Oh so very cool! Where can I buy some of that AI to replace my current personal version? Mine seems to stand for "Absent Intelligence!" :roll:

Denali National Park a few miles south of the summit on one of the many southside glaciers. Snowshoe walkabout for daily exercise.

Your pitot and static tubes ought to be parallel to or slightly pointed down from the lower surface of the wing for best accuracy. Looks like someone bumped into them.

Amazing pictures! I hope to get some of that weather for my arrival up there next week.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the tip! I'll take a closer look the next time I'm out there.

Some PSTOL flap flight testing.

Narwhal · Mar 6, 2023

Little Switzerland / Pika Glacier at the 5500 ft level. First time trying an Alpine/Hanging glacier.

Kahiltna Glacier 7500 ft level with Mt. Hunter ~14,000 in the background

West ridge hunter in the left background looking down the Kahiltna

Same zoomed out.

Denali background left ~20,300. Seemed like a good spot to look at the mountain at 10 miles out,
too much closer and you can hardly see the top.

Splashed in a fresh water pond on Cape Cod that should be frozen this time of year.
Skis are collecting dust this winter.

Went for a ride through Bill's neighborhood and found this strange looking work boat obviously digging in the ocean floor just outside Muskeget Island. There's talk of installing a field of windmills offshore. Perhaps this is part of the construction crew?

Also found this interest boat house/hangar? Perhaps this was an airplane hangar from long ago when there were a lot of seaplane commuters from New York?

Sorry the picture is blurred, taken through the curve of the windshield.

stid2677 · Apr 29, 2023

Still waiting for the snow to melt,, but why not catch a few Pike while I wait.

skywagon8a · May 2, 2023

Better pictures

Landing area, Blankinship Cove, Marion Mass.

Sure looks like a hangar to me.

.

There is a marine railway at the right side, leaving room for a boat beside an airplane. I've been flying around here for 65+ years and have never heard anything of this particular location. Seaplanes have a tendency to remain off the public's radar. At least around here they do.

Fun on the Knik today.

Got checked out in the T6 at work, and got to take my first passenger for a ride, my dad. Pretty great day.

That is a cable trenching machine. They have been out there all winter.
Vineyard Wind has a lease for offshore windmills.
The developers are spending money like drunken sailors. Must be good money in electricity.

Not much money in electricity but lots of money in government subsidies. Your tax dollars at work. Like W.B. said if wasn’t for the production tax credit they don’t make a lot of sense! Does it take more energy to produce the wind turbine than what they will produce?

I was trying to say that without going political but now you have opened that up: this windfarm is crazy stunt by the green folks.

Thanks Bill.

If the folks saw what happened to our electric rates recently, they would understand.

Is that machine headed out to sea or is it working it's way towards shore? I haven't seen any windmills yet, unless they are over the horizon?

Cubus Maximus · May 5, 2023

Finally back in the air, watched the ice go out on Gull last night with Debbie.

mam90 · May 5, 2023

Cubus Maximus, you always take such nice photos. I really enjoy them.

txpacer · May 5, 2023

We took the floatplane out for another DFW lake tour, managed to talk the NAS Ft Worth tower folks into letting us splash Lake Worth. It's right at the end of their runway. Being Navy, you'd think they would welcome water ops.

Had a look at the river ice,, Nenana has an Ice Classic, they sell tickets as a lottery with guesses as to when the ice will go out. A wooden tripod is attached to a clock and when it moves enough it pulls the pin and stops the clock. The prize is over 200k this year. The tripod is in the square area. Looking like it will still be a few more days.

Beautiful airstrip! Are you based there?
is it a private strip, an airpark, or a public use airport?

That looks like Madden's on Gull Lake.. https://www.maddens.com/

Cubus Maximus · May 6, 2023

Yep Maddens, “9Y2” identifier. It’s a public strip. Lots of resort and lake home transients. There’s fuel 10 miles east (BRD) or west (staples). The resort will send a van to pick you up, otherwise a mile walk to check in. Runway closed during winter months unless no snow on it.

Approaching from the south to 31 over Dade lake.
