Hello group !



I made my 200th flight in my good old Twinstar Mk II yesterday   

I made a small video of one landing on my camera-phone ... and tought

of posting this on the new BBS. 

This give an idea of flying in winter near Montreal, Canada ... 



The video quality is quite limited ... but usable if you play it in original size ...

(looks quite bad in full screen ...) 

The visibility was only about 6 miles ...



You will need a recent version of the RealPlayer http://www.real.com/ to play the .3GP file.

The video size is about 1 Mb and last for 2:08

You shall fort-with be known as "Iceman"! Could we get some Floridian phone

video's on this site soon. I'm freezing here in Ohio and the winds are 35

MPH and the temp is 20. The last thing I need to see is a Walrus flyin, pun

intended. Actually quite an impressive video from a cell phone.



The good Ralph from Ohio!

Ralph,

George Alexander and I went flying Thursday at Manatee (south side of Tampa 

Bay), started out in long sleeves finished in Tee shirts.

Not bad for a January day.

 Hi Noel:



Super video!!!  Got me all charged up sitting here in the warmth of my old lake house watching it.  Makes me want to get the old MKIII out and go flying.  Particularly liked the flight on base, turn to final and the landing.  Looked like the snow groomer had the day off today at the airstrip. 



Where is your airstrip located?  I'd like to fly through there some day.  I have flown north of Montreal, back in 1994, on the way around the States, but it did not look anything like your video.  Was a lot greener.

Hello John !



Quite pleased that you liked it   



My airstrip is located north of Montreal, near a small town called Ste-Therese.

Here a google satellite map link:

[/url]  The valey of the St-lawrence river is a very nice place to fly around .... especially in winter with it's many frozen river and lake ...

By the way there is a (Challenger) flyin in Montebello, Qc, Canada 

this comming 28th and 29 th of january :



[url]http://maps.google.com/maps?q=montreal&hl=en&ll=45.685077,-73.825378&spn=0.266709,0.774536&t=hhttp://maps.google.com/maps?q=montreal&hl=en&ll=45.685077,-73.825378&spn=0.266709,0.774536&t=h[/url]



Usually many UL planes show up and all are welcome ....  Any Kolber interested ... I should go on the Saturday (weather permitting) or Sunday .



Flying in winter is not that cold ... provided you have the right clothes.

With the enclosed cockpit it is actually much warmer than snowmobiling 

The worse part is getting the plane ready especially digging it out of the

snow and filling the thanks ... but once you got it done then it's the best flying that you can get !!! The air is so calm and the performances !!! I easily get a climb rate of > 1200 fpm ... which is a 20 % increase in performance ... and nothing beat flying (safely) at 3ft over a frozen lake or

river and landing about anywhere you dare to ... 



My excuses for the long post ...



Noël

Noel:  Thanks for the info on your airstrip and also on the winter flyin.



During my 1994 flight I flew from Pembroke to Trois Revierese.  During that flight, I was about 40 miles north of St Therese.  I landed one time during that 220 leg, but can not remember where.  I do remember it was a beautiful area, and enjoyed my flight very much.



I'd like to participate in the Winter Flyin, but my southern blood sould freeze up solid.  Stay in touch.  Maybe I can fly up that way soon, soon as it warms up a bit.  Lakes and rivers are not in their normal state when hard enough to walk and land on.

The video quality is quite limited >>



Hi,

never mind. At last I can see that there is actually a use for a camera on a 

phone. Why are you not inside with a large single malt and a blazing fire 

instead of messing about in all that white stuff.?



great pics.

Thanks



Pat

You don‘t specifically need the latest RealPlayer version to open the .3g video file. Nowadays we have plenty of file converters that can change the format of the video in some seconds. This way you won’t need a specific software or programm to open it. I would recommend using movavi’s video converter. The link on their editing software is here.
