Skyhopper Flight Highlights ( July 3, 2016)
Excerpts from a 90 minute flight using a DIY Vibex type antivibration camera mount (SJcam SJ5000X elite goPro clone), which stills needs tweaking, but so far, this is the most stable footage I ve been able to get (using a 7foot tube bolted to the wing tip spar). Morning air at 7:30 was exceptionally calm surface to upwards of 2, 000 ft (as evidenced by the straight upward plume of steam from TVA s Sequoia Nuclear Plant 20 miles away). Filled her up with 5 gallons of E0 87 and burned 3. 5 gals equals 2. 33 g, hours burn rate. 50 miles on this single flight equals mpg.
