Over the shoulders again

[One-Eye]

Surprisingly nice plane to play with so far. For a kero burner. I am quite enamoure of her.

That's looking really nice, Chris.

A small correction though, if I may - your'e should be spelt you're.  Yes, I know I looked too close

No problems. You're quite right and of course, the final result will be different. I am still looking at hinges and things - the text was initially onle there to show me things like which way round certain panels were - as can be seen with the pod doors.

Besides - my eyesight is failing for real. I need glasses desperately.

A sort of first for me. Nothing special, but I thought I'd have a go with Snagit Video capture and for the first time I have a video file that isn't ginormous.

I just took it to show an approach and landing into Eagleskinners secret paint and sprayshop location and to give you an idea of the humpy back runway. It doesn't just slope, it rollercoasters What makes it even more fun is that the high ground you approach over is just about at the same slope angle as your glideslope.

And to make matters worse, the runway is also "downhill" in an overall sense, so you really need brakes and a minimum approach speed. I've put the caravan into the water withou thrust reversers and floating too long over the runway.

The attached static screenies show the current state of play with the Caravan... and "What silly 'arris forgot to put the hot air balloons on NOTAMS?"

The video takes over just after that last screenie.
