Hi Paul and all. Talking about cross country. Got this image of a
friends efis - Glasair III with a ground speed of 278kts-320mph.
Thats getting places! Cheers Steve Izett

That's great Steve. I hope your rotary powered Glasair is as fast.
Got any new pictures with the cowl on?

I was thinking of putting a 4 rotor turbo in a used Glasair and
racing it at Reno. It is not so much the cost of the engine and used
Glasair airplane but all the associated expensive cost of racing at
Reno that talked myself out of it :-)

BTW have you heard from Dave Mccandless? I am curios of how his
rotary talk went at Oz-Kosh.

Hi Paul
Haven’t caught up with Dave since he dropped into the hangar a few months back, so haven’t heard how his presentation went.
I’ll try to remember to take a few photos.

Here is a link to video on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/steve.izett.7/videos/152619891845900/

I don't do face book Steve. They want you to log in so they can make
money selling your information for marketing purposes.  My name is none of their
business :-) The next thing that happens is you get a lot of junk email.
We don't do that!!!! Same goes for YouTube. No more YouTube from me.
I'll just email the new video's to the list.

Can you just send me that video?

Paul Lamar


You don’t need to log in to watch the video, Paul. I just clicked “Not now” and watched it. Neither do you need to log in to watch Youtube videos.

Dave Klingler

Yes I see that and it just pisses me off :-) Everybody is doing it even Google.

Yes I know YouTube doesn't require it but then your uploads  are open to criticism
by mostly incompetent people. There is a whole anti rotary crowd that knows
nothing about them. They keep coming up with non existing  so called "problems".

My mother told me to never argue with an idiot as the causal bystander does
not know the difference :-). Just a gross waste of time. I would rather not make
advertising money for YouTube.

Paul Lamar

My father used to tell me to never argue with a crazy person, because it’s a waste of your time and his as well. :)

You can turn the comments off with Youtube, and keep even the crazy people quiet.

The nice thing about Youtube is that you don’t have to worry about people not being able to see your videos.  I often can’t watch what you put in the emails, but I download them and watch them with VLC, which can decode just about anything.

Barring that technique, though, Youtube works pretty well.  I don’t sweat the advertising.  I figure that I’ve learned so much from watching people’s Youtube videos, I’m willing to watch some ads in return, value given for value received. There are even some good Aussie videos on rebuilding 13Bs.

Dave Klingler

Do you mean that when I upload to Youtube I can prevent (block) comments?

Maybe we ought to capturer some of them :-)
I could put them on the web site for down load.
